Davis showing versatility with OF move

DETROIT -- There are no plans for Chris Davis to move back to first base for the Orioles, as the slugger started in right field Saturday night for the 16th time in the team's last 18 games.

Still, Orioles manager Buck Showalter wouldn't commit to calling Davis the club's everyday right fielder.

"I wouldn't call him anything. If we need to put a brand on it ... he is [the right fielder] tonight. It's kind of who we are," Showalter said. "It just tells you how valuable he is, and it makes people, not only us but in baseball, aware of how versatile and valuable he is.
