The Baltimore Orioles reinstated Chris Davis for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Davis missed the team's opener as he finished serving a 25-game suspension for a positive amphetamine test.

He went 0-for-3 and was hit by a pitch in his season debut.

"I was a little fired up,'' Davis said after the game. "You try and calm yourself down as much you can. I was kind of overswinging a little bit early, but I settled down during the game."

Davis batted fifth as the designated hitter.

"It's been 209 days since he played in a major league game. So I know he's excited, and so are we have to him back," Showalter said. "It's been a long road for him. He'd be the first to tell you it was self-inflicted, but I don't think anybody here doesn't think he paid a dear price for it."
