2007 BAYSOX SS DAVIS GETS RARE OPPORTUNITY AT BIG LEAGUE CAMP

Orioles Manager Dave Trembley has become so concerned with an illness that has made its way around the clubhouse that the team will bring three minor leaguers to major league camp to fill in over the next week.

The shortage of bodies has made balancing at-bats for the team's reserves a challenge. To help cap at-bats, Jonathan Tucker, Blake Davis and Sebastien Boucher will report when the Orioles travel to Fort Myers to play the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.
