Davis (illness) was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis produced a wRC+ of exactly 82 in each of his final two years as an Athletic, and things only got worse for him following an offseason trade to the Rangers. In 22 games, he hit just .157/.262/.333, good for a wRC+ of 67. There's unlikely to be much of a market on the waiver wire for a 33-year-old designated hitter who's been well below average for three straight seasons. The transaction should open up the DH spot for Willie Calhoun, allowing the Rangers to start more accomplished defenders in left field such as Eli White, who was recalled in a corresponding move and will fill the position Tuesday against the Giants.

Davis was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays due to an illness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was initially scheduled to serve as the Rangers' designated hitter while batting fifth in the series finale, but those duties will instead fall to Nick Solak, who moves up from seventh in the lineup. Charlie Culberson will fill Solak's previous spot in the batting order while manning second base.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Thursday's loss at Coors Field.

EDGE Analysis

Davis demolished a 440-footer against Jordan Sheffield in the seventh inning. It was his second long ball of the series and his second of what's been a difficult season, partially due to suffering from a quadriceps strain. Across 20 games, the 33-year-old is batting just .182/.296/.386.

Davis hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat Tuesday in a loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Davis played hero in the eighth inning, coming on to pinch hit in the eighth inning and depositing a solo game-tying homer to right field. The long ball was his first this season and accounted for his third RBI. It has been a difficult campaign overall for Davis, who missed the first part of the campaign with a quadriceps strain and has struggled with a .171/.280/.317 slash line. He has struck out 15 times in 41 at-bats.

Davis isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Davis will sit for the second time in the last three games after he went 0-for-2 with an RBI, a walk and a strikeout in Friday's loss. Willie Calhoun will serve as the designated hitter while Jason Martin starts in left field.

Davis isn't starting Thursday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Davis will likely serve as the primary DH option after David Dahl (ribs) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, but he'll get a breather Thursday. Willie Calhoun will serve as the designated hitter while Jason Martin starts in left field.

Davis went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was part of a five-run uprising in the seventh inning and scored the winning run on Jose Trevino's double. He's appeared in 13 games, starting six, and is 5-for-28 with two extra-base hits and one RBI. Davis is serving as a part-time DH along with David Dahl.

Davis started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 10-2 win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

This was Davis' first start since being activated from the injured list. The right-handed hitting slugger slotted in against a left-hander, and he's expected to be on short-side platoon at DH with either David Dahl or Willie Calhoun DH-ing against righties.

Davis went 1-for-1 with a run scored in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Davis, who was activated off the injured list earlier in the day, entered as a pinch hitter for David Dahl and singled then scored the go-ahead run. Davis' activation crowds the DH spot. He's expected to serve as the designated hitter against left-handers while David Dahl and Willie Calhoun share left field and DH against righties.

Davis (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis isn't starting against Seattle on Saturday, but he'll be available to make his team debut off the bench. The 33-year-old could work on the short side of a platoon at DH with Willie Calhoun to begin his time with the Rangers.
