Davis (quadriceps) went 0-for-4 as the designated hitter for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Texas manager Chris Woodward said Davis' rehab stint at Triple-A is unlikely to last long and anticipates him being recalled during the weekend series against Seattle, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Davis could be part of a platoon at DH with the hot-hitting Willie Calhoun.

Davis (quadriceps) has joined the Rangers at the alternate training site and is serving as the designated hitter in Wednesday's simulated game.
EDGE Analysis
Davis suffered a left quadriceps strain in late March and has been sidelined since then, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. If he feels good after participating in simulated games, Davis could be close to making his season debut for the Rangers.

Davis (quadriceps) is two weeks away from game action, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was shut down with a strained left quadriceps in late March and was originally expected to return in three or four weeks. He's already at least a week behind the tail end of that range. Fellow designated hitter option Willie Calhoun (groin) also remains sidelined, though he appears to be closer to a return.

Davis (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis isn't expected to return before mid-April after suffering a Grade 2 left quadriceps strain in late March. With Willie Calhoun (groin) also injured, the Rangers are expected to rotate players through the designated hitter spot, with Eli White getting the nod on Opening Day against the Royals.

Davis was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his left quadriceps Wednesday and will be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old suffered the injury during Tuesday's spring matchup with the Angels and will be unavailable for Opening Day. Willie Calhoun (groin) is also out to begin the season, so the Rangers could have a rotating cast at designated hitter early on. Davis could return to action around mid-April if all goes well in his recovery.

Davis was diagnosed with a strained left quadriceps after leaving Tuesday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Davis suffered the injury while running to first base. His timeline isn't clear yet, but anything more than a very minor injury at this stage of camp would likely send him to the injured list to start the year. Willie Calhoun (groin) is already ruled out for the start of the year, which could open up playing time as a designated hitter for Ronald Guzman or another projected bench player.

Davis exited Tuesday's game against the Angels with what appeared to be a hamstring or quadriceps injury, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time Davis has left a game in two days, as he exited Monday's contest after getting hit in the head by a pitch. While that incident didn't cause him to miss any time, it's possible Tuesday's injury is a more serious one. With Willie Calhoun (groin) already set to miss time to start the season, a trip to the injured list for Davis could mean first basemen Nate Lowe and Ronald Guzman both find themselves in the lineup on a regular basis early in the season.

Davis (head) is in the lineup Tuesday for the Rangers' Cactus League game against the Angels, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. He'll serve as the club's designated hitter and will bat cleanup.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was hit by a pitch in the shoulder/head area in his final plate appearance during Monday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies, but he was fortunate to avoid any significant injury. His return to the lineup a day later confirms he'll be ready to go for Opening Day.

Davis was hit by a pitch in the helmet Monday, though it hit his shoulder first and he avoided serious injury, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The pitch initially appeared to hit Davis directly in the head, though it reportedly glanced off his shoulder first. Regardless, the hit-by-pitch has not caused a serious injury and preliminary reports suggest that Davis is feeling fine. That should keep him in line to serve as the team's primary designated hitter to begin the season with Willie Calhoun (groin) sidelined.
