Davis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Davis had a brief window to regain playing time while Ramon Laureano served a four-game suspension, but the latter's return to action Tuesday will likely confine the former to a short-side platoon role moving forward. Even while Laureano was out, Davis only started in two of the games, going 1-for-7 with three walks and two RBI over that span. Davis is sporting a career-worst .507 OPS, and he's produced only two extra-base hits in 55 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Davis will take his seat for the second straight game after going hitless in Saturday's contest. Mark Canha will serve as the designated hitter Monday with Robbie Grossman starting in left field.

Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Though Davis saw his three-game hitting streak come to an end Saturday, his general trend of encouraging at-bats continued, as he didn't strike out in any of his three plate appearances. Davis is still sitting on a career-worst 32.5 percent strikeout rate, however, and that combined with a .227 BABIP has limited him to a lowly .167 average through 10 games.

Davis' recent 4-for-6 surge over two games against the Rangers came after making an adjustment to his hand positioning in the batter's box, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. "It's just been helping me be more accurate to the ball. I'm finding less swings-and-misses and a little better contact," Davis said. "Just having them farther back, there's less room to go. They're already ready to fire. It's been working."

EDGE Analysis

Davis moved his hands further back and slightly higher in his stance after opening the season in a 1-for-21 slump. The adjustment paid immediate dividends against Texas, and they stemmed from advice provided by hitting coaches Darren Bush and Eric Martins after the slugger went to both for help. Davis' extended struggles with the bat -- he hit just 13 home runs over the final 98 games of last season as well -- appeared to trace back to a left hip contusion he sustained on May 5, 2019 after running into the railing along the left-field line at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. "We've just been working nonstop trying to figure out what is going to work," Davis said. "I think when I got hurt, I started getting set up in a different way. My body just wasn't adjusting to that injury. When I put my hands further back, it just kind of freed things up."

Davis went 2-for-3 with a two-run single in a win over the Rangers on Thursday, He's now 4-for-6 with a home run, four RBI and two runs over his last two games.

EDGE Analysis

Davis' numbers were in such dire straits prior to the recent two-game sample that his success at the plate in those contests still leave his season line at .185/.290/.296. Nevertheless, the slugger and his fantasy managers will undoubtedly focus on the positive, as Davis hadn't laced so much as a single extra-base hit this season prior to his round tripper Monday against the Mariners.

Davis isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been in a bit of a slump over the start of the 2020 season, but Monday's performance was a bright spot as he blasted his first home run of the season. However, the 32-year-old will still take a seat in the series opener against the Rangers as Mark Canha will shift to the designated hitter role, with Robbie Grossman starting in left field and batting sixth.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 11-1 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Davis started the 2020 season with four straight hitless performances, but he is turning things around -- he has recorded hits in two of his last three games. This was his first home run of the season, and there should be many more to come for the veteran slugger -- he has blasted at least 23 home runs in each of his last five seasons.
