Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis had to be restrained by coaches and teammates during an altercation with manager Brandon Hyde on the team's bench during Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees.

Cameras captured what appeared to be an angry Davis reacting to something Hyde said before he was held back by hitting coach Don Long and teammate Mark Trumbo.

Davis was removed from the game, with Jace Peterson replacing him in the lineup.

Hyde said postgame that he was "embarrassed" about the situation and declined to get into the specifics about why the altercation occurred, according to MLB.com's Joe Trezza. The skipper added that the details will stay "in-house."

"We had words and I took him out of the game," Hyde said, according to MASN's Roch Kubatko. "Me and Chris have a good relationship. And these things happen in competitive environments. It was something that will pass and we'll get through it, but it was just unfortunate it happened in the dugout."
