Davis is out of the lineup Saturday, the Tacoma News Tribune's Bob Dutton reports. It's a well-earned off day for Davis, who has taken a pretty firm hold of the first base job in Oakland through one month. He is slashing .289/.352/.433 and should be rostered in most deeper leagues. Mark Canha gets the start at first Saturday.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against Minnesota. The homer was just Ike's second of the year, but he's been a credible presence in the Oakland lineup this year. He's not recommended for use in most mixed leagues, but AL-only owners can certainly find room for what Davis is offering right now.

Davis is out of the lineup Friday against the Astros. Davis will receive a night off with the left-handed Dallas Keuchel on the mound for the Astros. Billy Butler will start at first place in his place Friday, with Ben Zobrist serving as the DH. Given Davis' hot start to the season, it's hard to believe he worn't rejoin the lineup Saturday.

Davis was feeling better today. Davis was almost put into the game for "an out or so," but his manager ultimately decided otherwise. He has not played a game since last Friday, but should be ready to get back out there soon.

Davis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Davis has not started against a left-hander all season, so it comes as little surprise that he will sit out Tuesday against Angels starter Hector Santiago. Stephen Vogt, who hits left-handed but currently leads the A's with a 1.215 OPS, will get the start at first base Tuesday night.

Davis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals. Davis will take a seat with southpaw Danny Duffy on the hill, giving way for Mark Canha to play first base and Cody Ross to take over in left field. Over his career, Davis owns an OPS that is 234 points lower against left-handed pitching, so the move makes sense from a matchup standpoint.

Davis was 2-for-4 on Friday night, including his first homer of the season. Davis has had an excellent start to his first season with the A's, hitting .353 with a .995 OPS through 34 at-bats. Davis will hit in the middle of the lineup and start at first whenever the A's face a right-handed pitcher. He makes a nice corner infield bat in deeper leagues, especially those with daily or mid-week roster moves.

Davis will return to the starting lineup Sunday. Davis sat out of Saturday's game because of a platoon. He went 3-for-5 Friday night in Oakland's large win over Seattle. Manager Bob Melvin will likely continue to use Davis in a platoon.

Davis is out of the lineup Saturday against the Mariners. Davis was a big part of the A's offensive outburst Friday night, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI in the team's 12-0 thrashing of Seattle. However, manager Bob Melvin will stick to his various platoons and remove the likes of Davis, Sam Fuld and Stephen Vogt from his lineup with lefty J.A. Happ on the hill for the Mariners. Mark Canha will man first base and bat second.

Davis had a monster game on Friday night, going 3-for-5 while driving in four. Davis had two doubles among his three hits and brought his season average up to .286. He will be in the middle of the lineup for the A's whenever they face a left handed starter.
