Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was charged with the loss and the blown save after allowing four runs to the Padres on Friday, which is apparently when he sustained the shoulder strain. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though the veteran right-hander should be eligible to be activated Aug. 11. Jairo Diaz and Carlos Estevez are options to fill in at closer for the Rockies.

Davis (0-1) was tagged with the loss and a blown save Friday against the Padres. He gave up four earned runs on two hits -- both home runs -- and two walks across two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Davis gave up homers to Fernando Tatis and Tommy Pham, and his struggles allowed the Padres to mount the comeback in the top of the ninth. Davis has now allowed five earned runs across 2.2 innings, but he notched the save in both of his previous two appearances so this woeful performances shouldn't change his status as the Rockies' closer -- at least for now.

Davis earned a save with a perfect ninth inning in Sunday's 5-2 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

While he failed to record a strikeout, Davis made quick work of the middle of the Rangers' lineup to secure his second save of the season. The 34-year-old will have to stay consistent if he's going to hold on to the Rockies' shaky closer role.

Davis allowed a run on one hit and one walk during his lone inning of work, but he struck out one en route towards earning his first save of the season Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is coming off the worst season of his career and is widely expected to have a short leash as the team's closer, but he converted his first save opportunity of the year. It wasn't an easy save, however, as he allowed two baserunners before sealing the deal when he struck out Rougned Odor. Davis posted an 8.65 ERA and a 1.88 WHIP in 42.2 innings last season.

Davis will likely begin the 2020 season as the Rockies primary closer, but other options are looming as Opening Day nears.

EDGE Analysis

Davis will look to bounce back from the worst season of his career in 2019, logging a 8.65 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in 42.2 innings and finishing with just 15 saves. The veteran right-hander did not allow a single run or hit while striking out three across 3.1 innings this spring. Scott Oberg and Carlos Estevez remain likely candidates to replace Davis should he struggle early on in his third campaign in Colorado.

Davis did not allow a run or a hit while issuing one walk and striking out three in 3.1 innings this spring.

EDGE Analysis

He has already been named the closer to open the season, but it's also mildly encouraging that he didn't get shelled in a small sample this spring. He shelved his cutter in favor of working on getting more consistent with his fastball and changeup, saying that the better his fastball is, the better his cutter will be in the regular season. Davis is entering the final year of a three-year, $52 million contract and if he pitches well, the rest of the bullpen fits much more logically, so he should get a fairly long leash. That said, the Rockies do not envision themselves as rebuilding, so signs of a return to his 2019 form (8.65 ERA, 1.88 WHIP) would leave the team scrambling to stop the bleeding.

Davis will be the Rockies' closer to start the year, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nearly every dedicated closer is at least a moderately valuable fantasy asset, but Davis has a good case to be the worst bet out there. The 34-year-old deservedly lost his closing job last season as his ERA ballooned to 8.65. There's undoubtedly some bad luck in that figure, but his 5.56 FIP suggests his season was indeed quite poor, as his strikeout rate plummeted to 20.4 percent while his walk rate soared to 14.1 percent. Scott Oberg, who took over the role in the second half before suffering a season-ending injury, will be the primary setup man for now but has a good chance of returning to the ninth inning unless Davis experiences a major turnaround.

Davis will most likely be used as a seventh- or eighth-inning reliever, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Scott Oberg (blood clot) was placed on the IL on Sunday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reported that Davis would return to the closer role. Davis blew a save chance later that day and apparently manager Bud Black is ready to move on; Black said Monday that he's not ready to anoint a new closer, but he made it clear that he'll give right-handers Jairo Diaz and Carlos Estevez chances to close out games over the remainder of the season. Black then turned to Davis in the eighth inning Monday evening and Davis was rocked for three runs on two hits -- including a homer -- in two-thirds of an inning, lifting his ERA for the season to 7.43.

Davis will return to the closer's role after Scott Oberg (blood clot) was ruled out for the remainder of the season, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has logged four straight scoreless appearances, with only one of those coming at home. He has a 9.70 ERA at home and a 0.63 ERA on the road, and the Rockies head on a week-long road trip next week, so he is worth adding in most roto formats.

Davis will move to a middle-relief role for now, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coors Field does a number on many pitchers' statlines, but Davis certainly can't blame his home park for the entirety of his 6.82 ERA, which translates to a park-adjusted ERA- of 134 (34 percent worse than league average). His 22.3 percent strikeout rate better suits a middle reliever, while his 13.5 percent walk rate is quite poor. Scott Oberg will handle the ninth inning for now.
