It’s been clear that Chris Davis would be headed to the disabled list since his oblique injury was announced on Monday night. The Orioles made it official on Wednesday afternoon, putting Davis on the 10-day disabled list. To replace Davis on the roster, they selected the contract of Norfolk first baseman David Washington.
To clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Washington, the Orioles also transferred Rule 5 pick Anthony Santander - remember him? - to the 60-day disabled list, listing the injury as a right forearm strain.
There’s not a timetable for Davis’s injury, but when manager Buck Showalter was questioned about it before Tuesday’s game, he seemed to offer a month as an absolute best case scenario.
