Davidson elected free agency Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Davidson opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment from the Orioles. The left-hander made one extended relief appearance for Baltimore this season, tossing 4.2 shutout innings. He collected a 3.89 ERA and 104:46 K:BB over 115.2 frames covering 17 starts and 15 relief appearances at Triple-A Norfolk.

Davidson was designated for assignment Sunday. Davidson's contract was selected Saturday, and he logged 4.2 scoreless innings in Minnesota while giving up four hits and two walks with just one strikeout. The 28-year-old lefty logged a 3.89 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 104 strikeouts in 115.2 innings at Triple-A this season.

The Orioles selected Davidson's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday. Davidson has been with Norfolk for the entire season, putting up a 3.89 ERA and 1.34 WHIP alongside a 104:46 K:BB across 32 appearances (17 starts). He'll now join the active roster to give the O's some additional bullpen depth to close the regular season, but with a career ERA of 5.98, he will likely be limited to low-leverage situations. Bryan Baker was optioned to the Florida Complex League in a corresponding move.

Davidson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Davidson was claimed off waivers last month and signed a major-league contract with the Orioles last week, but he's now off the 40-man roster. The O's are doing some 40-man roster housecleaning ahead of the Rule 5 Draft protection deadline.

Davidson was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Wednesday. It would appear the Royals didn't plan to tender Davidson a contract and instead tried to outright him, but the Orioles have scooped him up. The left-hander made 38 appearances (one start) between the Angels and Royals in 2023, collecting a 5.96 ERA and 46:19 K:BB over 51.1 innings. Davidson has plenty of past starting experience, but it's not clear at this point what role Baltimore has envisioned for him.
