In hopes of speeding up his return from an oblique injury, Chris Davis has had two platelet-rich injections into his left side.

"They drew my blood and injected the platelets from my blood into my oblique because it is supposed to speed up the healing process," Davis told The Baltimore Sun.

Davis was placed on the disabled list by the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend and is eligible to return on May 11.

He is hitting .250/.372/.382 with two home runs and 13 RBIs this season.
