BALTIMORE — Sidelined with a right oblique strain, Chris Davis can't seem to get comfortable lying down or sitting in a chair.
So, it will likely be after the All-Star break before the Baltimore Orioles first baseman is ready to swing a bat in a big league game again.
"I think three weeks would be real ambitious," manager Buck Showalter said Saturday. "I'd sign up for that right now."
Davis went on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday. At this point, Baltimore's prolific home run hitter is powerless to hasten his return.
"It's kind of feel thing right now, the first week to 10 days," Davis said.
