Chris Davis remains on the bench today for the series finale against the Nationals.

The presence of a right-handed starter didn’t influence Orioles manager Brandon Hyde.

Renato Núñez is playing first base instead of Davis, who’s 10-for-32 (.313) with a double, a home run and 10 strikeouts against Max Scherzer.

Iglesias had three hits last night, but continues to experience some discomfort in his left quadriceps.
