ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Orioles' 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night might have come at a greater price. The Orioles' top offensive weapon of the opening month of the season, first baseman Chris Davis, hobbled off the field in the fifth inning with a right knee injury. He is scheduled to get an MRI on Saturday morning. Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez was forced from the game after six innings after opening a blister on his right thumb, putting his next start in jeopardy.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Orioles first baseman Chris Davis left Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels in the middle of the fifth inning with what was initially diagnosed by the teams as a right knee injury. Davis hobbled off the field after coming up lame running out a ground ball to third base to lead off the top of the fifth inning. Replays showed that the his right leg appeared to buckle as his foot touched first base. Davis limped into the Orioles dugout on the first-base line and down the stairs toward the visiting clubhouse, grasping to the stair railings and unable to put weight on the right leg. Davis was replaced by utility man Ryan Flaherty at first base in the bottom of the fifth.

Your browser does not support iframes. When Orioles first baseman Chris Davis flailed at a changeup in the dirt Tuesday for the last out of the third inning, he says he was really frustrated. So he snapped. And so did his bat. Over Davis' knee in one quick motion. "It was misbehaving, so I put him in timeout," Davis said about snapping his bat. "It's not something I am proud of. It's not something, 'Hey, I can break a bat over my knee.' But in that situation out there, I knew I wasn't going to get a lot to hit and I still continued to swing at a ball in the dirt.

Brian Roberts, who played in just 115 games the previous three seasons because of various injuries, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday, three games into 2013, with what the Orioles are calling a strained right hamstring. The second baseman is expected to miss three to four weeks - an encouraging development considering the 35-year-old Roberts had to be carried off the field in the ninth inning Thursday when he grabbed his leg after stealing second base at Tropicana Field.

The sight of Orioles designated hitter Wilson Betemit rolling and writhing on the infield grass of Ed Smith Stadium on Monday afternoon suddenly quieted a sellout crowd and sent chills through the home dugout. As routine an act as Betemit's was - going on a full-count pitch from first base to second during the Orioles 12-9 Grapefruit League win over the Red Sox - the result was anything but. Betemit's right knee buckled mid-stride as he stumbled in the basepath, crumbled to the ground and clutched his knee in severe pain.
