Chris Davis is healthy and ready to bounce back from painful 2016

Orioles first baseman Chris Davis hit 38 home runs last season, but he's still looking at 2017 as a comeback year.

Davis, who struggled with persistent soreness in his left hand for much of 2016, said at FanFest that he was swinging without discomfort and added that he has continued to do so as he has ramped up to the start of spring training.

"I think the biggest thing was really the rest and the time off and not having the physical contact and the beating that I did every day when I was swinging and taking balls at first base,'' Davis said, as he prepared to take the field for the Orioles' first full-squad workout on Friday.
