Anything wrong with Davis or are they just trying to get Bell in the lineup?

The change came after the clubhouse was closed to the press and without explanation. If I catch an explanation I'll be sure to share.

[ScottieBaseball]

Just announced...Zach Britton to 15 man DL w/strain shoulder, Izturis activated, Erbe DFA'd.

Awesome, just awesome.

Still don't know why Davis was yanked though. That's annoying.

I think if Andino was at 2B and Izzy at SS we might have 2 outs.

[Gurgi]

What the heck can this mean for Davis?

The intrigue continues here.

First baseman Chris Davis was scratched from the lineup due to a "manager's decision," according to a team spokesman. Buck Showalter will address the issue after tonight's game.

Maybe Buck doesn't want him facing a soft-tossing lefty.

[SammyBirdland]

Bell, Andino, and Izturis. The O's play to WIN, baby.

[The Rick]

This from Roch via Twitter just a minute ago:

Wouldn't surprise me if Davis, who had ice on his right shoulder earlier, is unavailable tonight and Showalter is keeping it on the downlow
