Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis has announced his retirement on Thursday morning following time dealing with injury and arthroscopic hip surgery.
In a statement, Davis said "I want to thank the Orioles partnership group, led by the Angelos family, the Orioles organization, my teammates and coaches, The University of Maryland Children's Hospital with whom I will continue to be involved following my retirement, and, of course, Birdland. Thank you for the memories that I will cherish forever."
Davis has been out of play since May. Davis joined the Orioles organization after being acquired from the Texas Rangers on July 30, 2011.
