Davis, 28, was suspended 25 games in September for testing positive for amphetamines. He missed the final 17 games of the 2014 regular season and then sat out all seven of the Orioles’ playoff games due to the suspension. He has one more game left to serve and will miss Opening Day.

The Baltimore Orioles and slugger Chris Davis have reached agreement on a seven-year, $161 million deal, multiple media outlets reported Saturday.
The contract includes a full no-trade clause and there is no opt-out in the deal with the first baseman, which is pending a physical, according to MLB.com.
The sides reached an agreement less than two days after the Orioles reportedly were prepared to move on from Davis and had offered Yoenis Cespedes a five-year, $90 million deal.
Cespedes is no longer a consideration for the Orioles with Davis agreeing to re-sign, a source confirmed to ESPN.com.
Davis, 29, filed for free agency after the 2015 season and balked at an earlier offer made by Baltimore reportedly worth about $150 million.
Davis, who has been with the Orioles since 2011, hit 47 home runs with 117 RBIs last year and has 126 homers in the past three seasons.
