Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias announced first baseman Chris Davis underwent season-ending surgery on his left hip Wednesday morning in the Dallas area.
Davis, 35, began the season on the 60-day injured list after injuring his back in his first spring training game. Over the past two seasons, he has played in 16 games with no home runs, battling a knee injury most of 2020.
Elias said Davis’ procedure has a recovery time of four to five months, meaning he is expected to be ready for spring training of the 2022 season, the final year of the $161 million contract he signed before the 2016 campaign.
