Davis (elbow) is expected to go to Arizona to throw some live bullpen sessions early next week, MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains to be seen how many live bullpen sessions Davis will need, or what the next step will be, as he could conceivably return to the Royals without a rehab assignment. For now Kelvin Herrera will continue to act as the Royals' closer, but the team still hopes to get Davis back before the end of the season.
