Oakland Athletics slugger Khris Davis departed Wednesday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds in the fifth inning due to lingering effects from a left hip contusion.
Davis aggravated the injury, which occurred Sunday when he ran into a railing while catching a foul fly down the left field line in Pittsburgh. He was scratched from Tuesday’s game against the Reds due to the ailment and began Wednesday’s game as the designated hitter.
Kendrys Morales pinch-hit for Davis when the DH spot came up in the fifth inning.
Davis was 0-for-1 with a walk before exiting.
Davis is batting .227 with 10 homers and 26 RBIs.
