Davis' injury was initially reported as a severely bruised kidney, but a written statement issued by the Reds on Monday said the outfielder also suffered a kidney laceration.All tests have shown the kidney to be functioning properly. Smith said Davis will remain in bed for the next few days and will require prolonged bed rest and limited activity for several weeks.
