| Jan 8 2024 | Davis signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis posted a .685 OPS while appearing in 34 games for the Marlins before requiring season-ending right meniscus surgery. He should be healthy heading into spring training and will compete for a reserve outfielder role, but the 31-year-old will more likely than not start the season at Triple-A Jacksonville. |
|
| Oct 31 2023 | The Marlins sent Davis (knee) outright to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis has been out since early July after undergoing surgery on his right knee. The 31-year-old resumed running toward the end of the season, but he is now set to return to the minors and will have to earn his way back onto Miami's 40-man roster in 2024. |
|
| Sep 19 2023 | Davis (knee) did some running on the field Monday, MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a big step for Davis as he works his way back from right meniscus surgery which he underwent in early July. The speedy outfielder won't make it back before the end of the season but hopefully should be able to have a relatively normal offseason. |
|
| Jul 10 2023 | Davis (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move clears a spot for Johnny Cueto's return from the 60-day IL. Davis underwent right meniscus surgery last week and there's a good chance his season is over. |
|
| Jul 6 2023 | Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday that Davis (knee) will be sidelined 3-to-6 months, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis underwent surgery Thursday after damaging his right meniscus while trying to make a diving catch Tuesday against the Cardinals. He had been in line for regular starts in center field with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) landing back on the injured list Monday, but Davis can now probably be ruled out until at least mid-September. The 31-year-old was slashing .244/.307/.378 with two home runs and one stolen base through 34 major-league games this season. |
|
| Jul 5 2023 | An MRI revealed a meniscus injury in Davis' right knee, and he will undergo surgery Thursday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis doesn't have a torn meniscus, but his injury is apparently still severe enough to warrant surgery. His recovery timeline is unclear at the moment, but it's very possible the procedure puts an early end to Davis' season. Should he miss the rest of the year, Davis will close 2023 with a .244/.307/.378 slash line alongside two homers and 10 RBI through 103 plate appearances. |
|
| Jul 4 2023 | X-rays came back negative on Davis' right knee following his departure from Tuesday's win over the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis had to be carted off the field after falling hard on a diving catch attempt in the top of the fifth inning, but it sounds like it was just a scare. The 31-year-old is poised for regular starts in center field, if his health cooperates, with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) now back on the injured list. Davis is currently considered day-to-day with a right knee contusion. |
|
| Jul 3 2023 | Davis is expected to be the Marlins' primary center fielder while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is sidelined, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis had emerged as the club's regular center fielder while Chisholm missed time with turf toe and now will get that role back as Chisholm goes down with another injury. The 31-year-old is manning center field and batting ninth Monday versus the Cardinals. |
|
| Jul 2 2023 | Davis will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll be included in the starting nine for the series finale, Davis was on the bench for each of the past three contests and looks to have moved into a fourth-outfielder role. With Jazz Chisholm having recently returned from the injured list, he'll be flanked in the outfield by Jesus Sanchez and Bryan De La Cruz more often than not. |
|
| Jun 26 2023 | Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 31-year-old outfielder connected on his second homer of the year in the third inning off Jose Oviedo, giving Eury Perez and the Miami bullpen all the run support they would need in an eventual 2-0 victory. Davis is slashing .236/.290/.364 through 20 games in June while holding down the starting role in center field, but he should soon get bumped to the bench -- or even off the roster entirely -- when Jazz Chisholm (toe) makes his return. |
|
| Jun 24 2023 | Davis isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis had his four-game hitting streak snapped Friday, as he finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He'll get a day off Saturday while Jesus Sanchez moves to center field, Jorge Soler starts in right, Garrett Cooper serves as the DH and Yuli Gurriel starts at first base while batting sixth. |
|
| Jun 20 2023 | Davis is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett Hampson will cover center field and bat eighth for the Marlins. Davis has reached base in five straight games, but his season OPS has fallen from .949 to .699 since the beginning of June. |
|
| Jun 13 2023 | Davis isn't in the Marlins' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis has cooled off considerably after his hot start to the season, slashing just .185/.233/.296 over the past two weeks. While Davis sits Tuesday, Garrett Hampson will fill in as Miami's center fielder while batting ninth. |
|
| Jun 7 2023 | Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis had started in center field in each of the previous four games, going 3-for-14 with three doubles, five RBI and four runs over that span. Garrett Hampson will fill in for Davis in center in the series finale. |
|
| Jun 5 2023 | Davis will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis will get his third straight start in center field after finishing the Marlins' weekend series with Oakland with a pair of doubles and two RBI. Though he appears to have supplanted Garrett Hampson as the Marlins' preferred option in center, both Davis and Hampson will likely see their opportunities dwindle when Jazz Chisholm (toe) likely returns from the injured list at some point this month. |
|
| Jun 2 2023 | Davis went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 31-year-old journeyman scored the Marlins' only run in the third inning after leading off the frame by drawing a walk and stealing his first bag of 2023. Davis has plugged a hole in center field while Jazz Chisholm (toe) is on the shelf, but after going 6-for-7 at Coors Field in his first two games for Miami, he's managed only two hits in his last 19 at-bats. |
|
| May 28 2023 | Davis will start in center field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row and will get his second straight turn atop the batting order despite going 0-for-6 with two runs scored in Saturday's 8-5 win. Though Davis isn't a good bet to stick atop the lineup for a prolonged stretch, he could have a fairly clear path to playing time in the outfield while all of Avisail Garcia (back), Jazz Chisholm (toe) and Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) are stuck on the injured list. |
|
| May 24 2023 | Davis is starting in center field and batting ninth Wednesday versus the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis made his Marlins debut as a pinch-runner Tuesday and will make his first start with the club Wednesday. He was acquired via trade with the Tigers earlier this week. |
|
| May 23 2023 | The Marlins selected Davis from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A day after being traded from Detroit to Miami in exchange for Brady Allen, Davis will return to the majors for the first time in 2023. The 31-year-old outfielder is slashing .258/.336/.516 through 140 plate appearances in Triple-A this season and could see regular playing time while Avisail Garcia (back), Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) and Jazz Chisholm (toe) are all injured. |
|
| Jan 30 2023 | Davis agreed Monday with the Tigers on a minor-league contract and received an invitation to MLB spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis played 37 games in the majors for the Brewers in 2022, putting together a .224/.344/.237 slash line across 91 plate appearances. The 30-year-old outfielder will have an outside chance of winning a bench spot with the Tigers if he performs well in the Grapefruit League. |
|
| Oct 7 2022 | Davis was released by the Brewers on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis had his contract selected by Milwaukee in June and played in 37 games before he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in September. The 30-year-old posted a .224/.344/.237 slash line with four RBI and seven stolen bases in 91 plate appearances. |
|
| Sep 26 2022 | The Brewers reinstated Davis (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and outrighted him to Triple-A Nashville. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Milwaukee never officially announced the transaction, the veteran outfielder was apparently exposed to waivers upon being activated from the IL and will stay in the organization after going unclaimed. Before being placed on the IL on Aug. 27 with a right elbow effusion, Davis logged a .224/.344/.237 slash line over 91 plate appearances for Milwaukee on the season. |
|
| Sep 9 2022 | Davis (elbow) was sent to High-A Wisconsin on Friday to begin his rehab assignment. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis has been on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 27 due to a right elbow effusion. It is worth wondering how much playing time he will see once he returns with Garrett Mitchell seemingly taking over the center field spot in his absence. |
|
| Aug 27 2022 | Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow effusion Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis has gotten into 37 games for the Brewers this season, slashing .224/.344/.237. Garrett Mitchell was recalled to take his place on the roster and could fill the same bench outfielder role. |
|
| Jul 26 2022 | Davis went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in a 7-6 win Tuesday against Minnesota. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis walked in the second and singled and stole second in the fourth. In the eighth inning, with two on and one out, Victor Caratini pinch-hit for Davis against Jhoan Duran. Davis is 8-for-24 with four walks and four stolen bases in his last 11 games (nine starts) and has a .365 OBP since joining Milwaukee in mid-June. While he has only one extra-base hit on the season, he's found ways to contribute by reaching base and swiping seven bags while manning center field most days. |
|
| Jul 25 2022 | Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis made seven consecutive starts in center field to finish out the Brewers' first-half schedule, but he's moved into a fourth outfielder role coming out of the All-Star break with Tyrone Taylor (concussion) having returned from the injured list. For the third time in the four-game set with Colorado to open the second half, Davis finds himself on the bench. |
|
| Jul 16 2022 | Davis went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis walked and stole second with one out in the eighth inning, After Christian Yelich struck out, Davis tried his luck for another steal attempt, only to get caught at third to end the Brewers' rally. That may have been costly, as the Giants scored the go-ahead run in their half of the frame. Davis had notched six consecutive steals before he was caught Saturday. The outfielder has added a .232/.348/.250 slash line with three RBI, eight runs scored and a double through 67 plate appearances, though two of his three multi-hit efforts this year have come in his last six games as he starts to see steadier playing time. Saturday was his sixth straight start in center field, though that position may close up again once Tyrone Taylor (concussion) returns from his rehab assignment after the All-Star break. |
|
| Jul 12 2022 | Davis went 1-for-3 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-3 win Tuesday in Minnesota. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In the sixth, Davis drove in a run with a single, stole second base and came around to score on Willy Adames' homer. The stolen base was his fifth of the season and fourth in July. He's started 13 of the last 17 games in center field for Milwaukee, hitting ninth in the lineup each time. The 30-year-old has never had more than 103 big-league plate appearances in a season and has a chance to eclipse that mark this season. |
|
| Jul 10 2022 | Davis went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in an 8-6 loss Sunday against Pittsburgh. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis singled, stole second and scored in the third and doubled and scored in the fifth. He was removed for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning with David Bednar on the mound. It was Davis' first multi-hit game since his season debut on June 18 and the double was his first extra-base hit of the season. |
|
| Jul 9 2022 | Davis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis started in the first six games of the month but will take a seat for a second consecutive matchup Saturday. Andrew McCutchen is shifting to center field while Keston Hiura serves as the designated hitter. |
|
| Jul 8 2022 | Davis is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis started the past six games with Tyrone Taylor (concussion) and Hunter Renfroe (calf) sidelined, but he'll take a seat Friday after going 2-for-18 with four walks, two runs and two stolen bases. Andrew McCutchen will move to center field while Keston Hiura serves as the designated hitter. |
|
| Jul 3 2022 | Davis will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Hunter Renfroe (calf) landed on the 10-day injured list June 26, Davis appeared to settle into a short-side platoon role in the outfield with Jace Peterson, but both Davis and Peterson look as though they'll have an opportunity to play on a near-everyday basis in the short term. Tyrone Taylor (concussion) joined Renfroe on the injured list Sunday, creating openings in center and right field that will most likely be filled by Davis and Peterson until one of the two injured outfielders is activated. Davis is a strong defender who brings good speed, but a weak bat and a spot at the bottom of the Milwaukee lineup likely won't lend itself to much fantasy value. |
|
| Jul 1 2022 | Davis (back/ribs) is starting in center field and batting ninth in Friday's series game against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After crashing into the outfield wall Wednesday, Davis was forced to miss the remainder of the contest and was also unavailable for Thursday's loss. He will now return to the lineup in center field where he will fill in for Tyrone Taylor. |
|
| Jun 30 2022 | Davis (back/ribs) isn't starting Thursday against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rays due to low back/rib cage discomfort, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench Thursday. Andrew McCutchen is shifting to right field while Jace Peterson enters the lineup at third base. |
|
| Jun 29 2022 | Davis was diagnosed with low back/rib cage discomfort after leaving Wednesday's game against the Rays, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis crashed into the wall in center field on a diving catch in the bottom of the second inning and initially remained in the game, but he exited in the bottom of the third inning. The 30-year-old should tentatively be considered day-to-day prior to Thursday's series opener in Pittsburgh. |
|
| Jun 28 2022 | Davis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kolten Wong's (calf) return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday looks as though it may indirectly bump Davis into a short-side platoon role. With Wong set to handle an everyday role at second base, the versatile Jace Peterson no longer has a regular spot in the infield, so he'll occupy right field in Tuesday's game. As a left-handed hitter, Peterson projects to handle the larger side of a platoon in the outfield with the right-handed Davis, who is out of the lineup while righty Shane Baz takes the hill for Tampa Bay. Davis started in each of the previous four games, going 3-for-14 with two walks, a stolen base, a run and an RBI. |
|
| Jun 27 2022 | Davis went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's victory over the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis knocked in Tyrone Taylor on an infield single in the second inning, then came around to score later in the inning on a Willy Adames Single. Davis also picked up his first steal of the season in Sunday's game. Since Milwaukee selected his contract on June 18, the outfielder has five hits in five games and is slashing .278/.381/.278 during that span. |
|
| Jun 26 2022 | Davis is starting in center field and batting ninth Sunday against the Blue Jays, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old is starting his fourth straight game and should continue to have an increased role for the near future since Hunter Renfroe (calf) was placed on the injured list Sunday. Davis had his contract selected by Milwaukee last weekend and is 4-for-15 with two walks and five strikeouts. |
|
| Jun 18 2022 | Davis' contract was selected from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis began the season in Nashville, where he slashed .297/.408/.426 with three homers, 22 runs, 18 RBI and 11 stolen bases. The 30-year-old made major-league appearances for the Blue Jays and Yankees over the last four seasons and should provide outfield depth for Milwaukee after Lorenzo Cain was designated for assignment Saturday. Davis is starting in center field and batting ninth against the Reds on Saturday. |
|
| Nov 17 2021 | Davis signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Wednesday that includes an invite to spring training, tom reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis appeared in 64 big-league games between the Yankees and Blue Jays in 2021, and he hit .126/.252/.172 in 103 plate appearances. He'll have an outside chance at a roster spot with a strong showing in spring training. |
|
| Aug 24 2021 | Davis was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Tuesday's win over Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis was promoted from Triple-A on Monday and went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter during his brief stint on the majors. Overall he has a .126/.252/.172 slash line across 103 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and Yankees this season. |
|
| Aug 23 2021 | Davis was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis served as a reserve outfielder for the Yankees earlier in the month but was sent down Wednesday. He appeared in three games during his brief stint in the minors and went 3-for-12 with a homer, three runs, three RBI and a stolen base. The 29-year-old will fill a depth role for the major-league club once again. |
|
| Aug 18 2021 | Davis was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis served as outfield depth after he was claimed off waivers by the Yankees in early August. He went 1-for-16 with four runs, a walk and five strikeouts during his time with the major-league club but will head to the minors after Anthony Rizzo (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 IL on Wednesday. |
|
| Aug 4 2021 | The Yankees added Davis to their 26-man active roster ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After claiming Davis off waivers from Toronto on Tuesday, the Yankees were expected to send the outfielder to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He'll instead end up joining the big club, which opened up a spot on the 26-man active roster by optioning Tuesday's starting pitcher, Luis Gil, to Triple-A. Expect Davis to fill a depth role while he's up with the Yankees. |
|
| Aug 3 2021 | The Yankees claimed Davis off waivers from Toronto on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old was designated for assignment by Toronto on Friday and now finds a home in the Yankees' organization. It's unclear whether New York intends to call him up in the near future, or if he'll just serve as minor-league outfield depth, which could come in handy given the recent COVID-19 infections in the Yankees' clubhouse. |
|
| Jul 25 2021 | Davis was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis appeared in nine games for the Blue Jays over the past month, but he was exclusively utilized off the bench. The 29-year-old will receive more regular playing time down at Triple-A. |
|
| Jul 19 2021 | Davis was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis was optioned to Triple-A earlier in the day, but he won't end up making his way to Buffalo. He'll take the roster spot of Breyvic Valera, who's out due to a family medical emergency. Davis is unlikely to see much playing time with Lourdes Gurriel, George Springer, Teoscar Hernandez and Randal Grichuk all healthy. |
|
| Jul 18 2021 | Davis was optioned to Triple-A and appointed as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He clears a spot on the 26-man roster for Breyvic Valera but will stick around for one more day before heading to Triple-A. Davis primarily works as a defensive replacement and/or pinch runner. He is hitting .143 in 70 at-bats this season. |
|
| Jun 29 2021 | The Blue Jays recalled Davis from Triple-A Buffalo before Tuesday's game against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis will fill the open roster spot left by Joe Panik's being dealt to the Marlins. His stay on the big-league roster could be brief, however, with newly-acquired reliever Adam Cimber expected to join the Blue Jays as soon as Wednesday. Davis made a minimal impact offensively before being optioned June 22, hitting just .147 in 68 at-bats as a backup outfielder. |
|
| Jun 22 2021 | Davis (personal) was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis had been away from the team for a week, first while on the paternity list and then while on the restricted list. He's ready to play again now but will do so at the Triple-A level, as the Blue Jays no longer need him as an extra outfielder now that George Springer (quadriceps) is healthy. |
|
| Jun 18 2021 | Davis (paternity) was transferred to the restricted list Friday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis has been on the paternity list since Tuesday, and his move to the restricted list will allow him to spend a few more days with his family. The 29-year-old is expected to rejoin the Blue Jays in the coming days. |
|
| Jun 15 2021 | Davis was placed on the paternity list prior to Tuesday's game against the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis will be away from the team for Tuesday's game and can remain on the paternity list for up to three days. The move shouldn't have a large impact on Toronto, as Davis has served as an extra outfielder for the club. Infielder Santiago Espinal was recalled in a corresponding roster move. |
|
| Jun 14 2021 | Davis went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he didn't account for any of the Blue Jays' Fenway Park-record-tying eight home runs on the day, Davis benefited from the top-to-bottom dominance of the Toronto lineup. He scored two runs for only the second time all season while exceeding his total (one) from the Blue Jays' prior 10 games this month. Though he picked up the start in center field Sunday, Davis is expected to serve primarily as a fourth or fifth outfielder while all of Lourdes Gurriel, Teoscar Hernandez and Randal Grichuk are healthy. |
|
| Jun 2 2021 | Davis isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Miami. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis has lost out on playing time recently and will be out of the lineup for the sixth time in the last eight games. Randal Grichuk will shift to center field while Teoscar Hernandez starts in right. |
|
| Jun 1 2021 | Davis isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis will get a breather after he went 0-for-2 with a run and a walk in Sunday's nightcap. Randal Grichuk will start in center field while Teoscar Hernandez takes over in right. |
|
| May 27 2021 | Davis isn't starting the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis recently drew six straight starts, but he'll now be excluded from the lineup for a second straight game. Lourdes Gurriel, Randal Grichuk and Teoscar Hernandez will start in the outfield from left to right. |
|
| May 23 2021 | Davis will start in center field and bat ninth Sunday against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Blue Jays appear to value the defense Davis provides in center field, as he'll be manning the position for the fifth game in a row. He could be in store for steady work in the outfield until George Springer (quadriceps) is back from the injured list, but aside from providing the occasional stolen base, Davis probably can't be counted on to provide much production from a fantasy standpoint. Over 209 career plate appearances in the majors, Davis is slashing .197/.300/.292. |
|
| May 12 2021 | Davis went 1-for-1 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis entered the game in the seventh as a defensive substitution and wound up kicking off a three-run eighth with a leadoff double and eventually came around to score on an RBI single by Vladimir Guerrero. The 29-year-old was first to bat once again in the ninth and reached base after getting hit by a pitch. He ended up stealing second but was left stranded. Davis figures to remain with the big-league club while George Springer (quadriceps) is on the injured list but won't see any regular action unless another one of the team's starting outfielders gets hurt. |
|
| May 5 2021 | Davis was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was demoted last week with George Springer (quadriceps returning from the injured list, and he'll rejoin the team with Springer aggravating his injury. Davis should operate as Toronto's fourth outfielder with Lourdes Gurriel, Randal Grichuk and Teoscar Hernandez set to handle the everyday roles in the outfield. |
|
| Apr 30 2021 | Davis was optioned to the alternate training site Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old made the Opening Day roster but will head to the alternate site with George Springer active and Teoscar Hernandez (COVID-19) returning from the injured list. Davis is unlikely to be a factor in the outfield for the Blue Jays while Springer, Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel and Randal Grichuk remain healthy. |
|
| Apr 17 2021 | Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old came into Saturday looking for his first hit of the season, and Davis made it a loud one when he turned on a Mike Minor offering in the fifth inning and rang it off the left-field foul pole. He got rewarded with another start in the nightcap but went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, and Davis' narrow window for playing time will close once George Springer (quad) and Teoscar Hernandez (COVID-19) are ready to return. |
|
| Mar 27 2021 | Davis will begin the regular season in the majors, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis spent the final month of the 2020 season in the majors, and he secured a spot on the Opening Day roster in 2021 after slashing .323/.432/.484 with one home run, four RBI and three stolen bases in 16 Grapefruit League games. He'll serve as outfield depth for Toronto to begin the regular season. |
|
| Sep 13 2020 | Davis entered Saturday's game against the Mets in the eighth inning as a pinch runner for Joe Panik and stole second base. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Blue Jays.manager Charlie Montoyo opted to sub in Davis as a pinch runner in the eighth and then utilize his speed in the outfield to finish out the game. Davis should continue to serve as an outfield depth option and speed specialist for the Blue Jays while receiving an occasional start. |
|
| Sep 8 2020 | Davis went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis took J.A. Happ deep in the second inning, providing the Blue Jays with the only offense they'd need to secure a win. It was his first home run of the season and third of his career. Davis will get a chance for some playing time with Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) sidelined, but it will likely come primarily against southpaws in relief of Derek Fisher. |
|
| Sep 7 2020 | Davis was recalled by the Blue Jays on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis spent the start of the season at alternate camp after missing a portion of camp for an undisclosed reason. He should fill a depth role in the outfield after Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. |

| Aug 2 2020 | Davis (undisclosed) was activated off the injured list and optioned to the Blue Jays' alternate training site Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis missed the start of summer camp with an undisclosed issue, but he reported during the second week of July and is now fully clear of the issue. The 28-year-old could join the Blue Jays later in the season if they need some outfield depth. |

| Jul 13 2020 | Davis (undisclosed) joined Blue Jays camp Monday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis landed on the 10-day injured list with an undisclosed issue in early July and remains on the list even though he's been cleared to link up with his teammates. It's not clear whether he'll have time to get in game shape by Opening, though he's buried down the outfield depth chart and isn't likely to fill a significant role even when healthy. |

| Jul 2 2020 | The Blue Jays placed Davis on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified issue. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Davis was one of four Blue Jays placed on the IL, with no explanation given for any of the transactions. The move is retroactive to June 30, so if deemed healthy, Davis would be eligible to return from the IL before the Blue Jays begin their season July 23 or 24. The 28-year-old is expected to serve as a backup outfielder for Toronto in 2020 after spending the bulk of the 2019 campaign at Triple-A Buffalo, with whom he slashed .262/.382/.449 with 10 home runs and 13 steals over 352 plate appearances. |

| Mar 22 2020 | Davis went 3-for-13 (.231) with all three hits going for extra bases (two doubles, one home run) in Grapefruit League play. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The athletic 27-year-old also stole a base on his only attempt. Davis was in camp competing for the 26th-man role on the big-league roster, but given that the Jays have two other outfielders out of minor-league options in Derek Fisher and Anthony Alford, Davis is expected to be at Triple-A Buffalo once again when the regular season begins. |
