BALTIMORE -- Orioles slugger Chris Davis will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique, a development that came as a disappointing surprise to the first baseman after he expressed confidence he would soon return from the injury. Davis left Friday nights game against Kansas City after four innings. He received an MRI on Saturday, and the results indicated that rest would be the best course of action. "A little bit worse than what we thought it was going to be," Davis said Saturday night. "Its kind of crazy because I dont feel terrible. Ive never had anything like this before. I figured it would just be a few days and then wed forget about it." Davis led the majors last season with 53 home runs and 138 RBIs. He has only two homers this season, and it will be a while before he gets to add to that total. "I guess the DL is the best choice right now," he said. "Hopefully things will go well and Ill be able to bounce back quickly." Earlier in the day, Davis expressed confidence that he wouldnt miss more than a few games. "Its definitely disappointing, frustrating," he said. "I do a lot to try and take care of my body and prevent injuries. You play this game long enough eventually youre going to run into something like this. But Im going to stay positive." It is uncertain when the injury occurred, although Davis suspected the muscles in his left side might have been weakened when he dived for groundballs in Boston and Toronto before the Orioles returned home to face the Royals. On Friday night, Davis winced after hitting a flyball in the third inning. He played another inning before manager Buck Showalter removed him from the game. Now, it appears as if Showalter will have to adjust to being without Davis for at least the next two weeks. "Its something we think will take the DL period at a minimum, so well start with that (Sunday)," the manager said. Right fielder Nick Markakis was in the starting lineup at first base Saturday night. Before batting practice, three Baltimore coaches worked with Markakis at the position, going over throws and positioning. The Orioles recalled infielder Jemile Weeks from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to provide an extra bat after optioning reliever T.J. McFarland to Norfolk late Friday night. Utility infielder Ryan Flaherty also is expected to get time at first base. Flaherty has been playing third base while the Orioles wait for Manny Machado to come off the disabled list following off-season knee surgery. Asked if subbing for Davis, an All-Star last season, will be imposing, Flaherty replied, "I got stuck trying to do that for Manny the first couple weeks." Machado could play in Class A Frederick or Norfolk on Monday. It appears the Minnesota series on May 2-4 could be the most likely time for him to return to the Orioles, Showalter confirmed.

Hello from Jamaica! Im so excited to be blogging for Sky Sports during our tour to the West Indies - Im really looking forward to giving you all an insight into our tour life and our experiences over the next few weeks here in the Caribbean. This tour has started like no other that I have ever experienced, with Hurricane Matthew due to hit the Island today. Reading all the weather and news reports it is quite unnerving, and there is a lot of uncertainty still around how hard the storm will hit the area of Montego Bay where we are currently based. But we are being really well looked after by the staff in the hotel where we are staying, and I know that our management team is in regular contact with the West Indies and Jamaica Cricket Board. The main thing is everyones safety - it is a worrying time for the Jamaican population, and we all hope that the local community stays safe over the next couple of days.Back home I know you are all celebrating the beginning of Womens Sport Week today! Following the success of first ever Womens Sport Week last year, its brilliant that it is back again, giving us all an opportunity to shine a spotlight on and celebrate everything that is great about womens sport. When I was growing up I couldnt have dreamt that Id be here in the West Indies being paid to play international cricket. The introduction of our professional contracts nearly two years ago now was a game changer for the England womens cricket team, which was followed by standalone commercial sponsorship deals with Kia and Bang & Olfusen, and most recently the huge success of the inaugural Kia Super League this summer. Georgia Elwiss bats for Loughborough Lightning in the inaugural Kia Super League It has all help make womens cricket in this country a viable career option for girls, and it must be a fantastic time to be a young girl growing up now. There are just so many inspiring role models across so many sports to admire - women who play with such passion and determination to succeed.I couldnt help but get swept up in the recent Olympic wave, and be inspired myself by the way all of our athletes performed. The GB womens hockey team in particular were incredible in Rio. What they have achieved for their sport on the biggest of all the global stages is amazing, and it is something that we hope to emulate when we host the ICC Womens World Cup in England next summer.ddddddddddddThe next three years represents an unprecedented period for womens team sports in England, as following the our World Cup next year, England will host the 2018 Womens Hockey World Cup and then the 2019 Netball World Cup. England hockey captain Kate Richardson-Walsh, England cricket captain Heather Knight and England netballs Jo Harten on a busy three years To mark this unique moment in time, it is brilliant news that the ECB, England Hockey and England Netball have today launched TeamUp, a three-year campaign to hopefully maximise this opportunity.In addition to promoting all three tournaments and encouraging women and girls to support each event, the TeamUp initiative has an ambitious target to ensure that all seven to 13 year-old girls across the country have the opportunity to experience the benefits of team sport, and includes a novel rewards scheme for schools and teachers.But back to the here and now - our first job is to qualify for the World Cup next summer, and to do that we need to have a good series against a talented West Indian team on their home patch. Our final three matches of this five match series count towards our qualification campaign, so we will be looking to put in some big performances over the next few weeks to get some more points on the board in the ICC Womens Championship.
