The Padres re-signed Davis to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis, who turns 32 in February, made seven appearances for San Diego in 2024, allowing eight runs (seven earned) over seven innings. The lefty reliever will try to win a spot in the Padres' bullpen but is likelier to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A El Paso.

Davis agreed to a minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis elected free agency Saturday after being cast off San Diego's 40-man roster and clearing waivers, but he'll return to the organization on a minor-league deal. The 31-year-old is likely to report to Triple-A El Paso, with whom he's logged a 3.10 ERA across 29 innings this season.

Davis elected free agency Saturday after the Padres outrighted him to Triple-A El Paso.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has fewer than three years of MLB service time, but because he had previously been outrighted off a 40-man roster earlier in his career, he had the ability to reject an assignment to the minors in lieu of free agency. The 31-year-old southpaw shouldn't have much trouble landing elsewhere on a minor-league deal after turning in a 3.10 ERA over 29 innings for El Paso in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League before struggling in his seven innings with the Padres (9.00 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 6:5 K:BB).

The Padres designated Davis for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres needed to clear space for new acquisitions Martin Perez, Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, so Davis will be jettisoned off both the active roster and the 40-man. The 31-year-old southpaw appeared in seven games for San Diego, allowing seven runs in seven innings while striking out six batters and walking five.

The Padres selected Davis' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis had been serving as the closer at El Paso, where he posted a 3.10 ERA and 37:16 K:BB over 29 innings. The left-hander has made 136 appearances over parts of five seasons in the majors, but this will be his first stint in the big leagues since 2022. It's not yet clear what the Padres' corresponding roster move will be.

Davis signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty reliever had a 2023 season to forget, posting an 11.22 ERA and 34:38 K:BB over 25.2 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land in the Astros organization. Slated to turn 31 on Saturday, Davis holds a career 5.61 ERA and 159:73 K:BB across 144.1 frames in parts of five seasons at the major-league level.

The Astros released Davis on June 26.

EDGE Analysis

A veteran of 136 career appearances in the majors, Davis failed to gain any momentum for a call-up to Houston in 2023 after struggling mightily at Triple-A Sugar Land. Over his 20 relief outings at Sugar Land spanning 25.2 innings, Davis pitched to an 11.22 ERA and walked more batters (38) than he struck out (34).

Davis was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Astros on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis signed a minor-league contract back in November with the Astros that including an invitation to spring training. The 30-year-old southpaw will provide some organizational depth for the 2023 season after failing to make the Opening Day roster, and Houston will need to add him to the 40-man roster in order for him to be promoted in 2023.

Davis signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis elected free agency in September after being designated for assignment by Minnesota, but he'll serve as a non-roster invitee during spring training in 2023 after signing with the Astros. Over 52 appearances (three starts) between the Red Sox and Twins last year, he posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 56 innings.

Davis elected free agency after clearing waivers Sunday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A St. Paul after the Twins recently designated him for assignment, Davis will try his luck on the open market. Between stops with Boston and Minnesota, Davis turned in a 5.79 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 56 innings in the big leagues this season.
