Davis signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Jan. 4.

EDGE Analysis

It's a return to his original organization, as Davis was a fifth-round pick of the Dodgers back in 2015. The 26-year-old utility player got a cup of coffee with the Tigers in 2022 but spent all of 2023 at their Triple-A affiliate in Toledo, managing just a .651 OPS.

Davis was released by the Tigers on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis failed to make the Opening Day roster in April and will now look for a new squad after he struggled to a .178 average with five homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs and a stolen base over 135 at-bats in 43 games with Triple-A Toledo this year. In a corresponding move, infielder Johan Camargo signed a minor-league contract with Detroit on Friday.

The Tigers reassigned Davis to minor-league camp Monday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old Davis reached the majors for the first time last September and appeared in three games for the Tigers before being pushed off the 40-man roster in the offseason. He re-signed with Detroit on a minor-league deal this winter that included an invitation to big-league spring training, but he was unable to secure a spot on the Tigers' season-opening roster after slashing .250/.379/.375 over 19 games in the Grapefruit League. He'll start the season at Triple-A Toledo.

Davis returned to the Tigers on a minor-league contract Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis made his big-league debut last season, appearing in three games late in the year. He was designated for assignment and non-tendered in mid-November but will return to the Tigers in an organizational depth role.

The Tigers declined to tender Davis a contract for 2023.

EDGE Analysis

A fifth-round pick by the Dodgers in 2015, Davis finally reached the majors with the Tigers at the tail end of last season. He has displayed decent on-base skills at Triple-A and is still only 25 years old even after seven seasons in affiliated ball.

Davis was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was promoted for his big-league debut at the end of the season and went 2-for-10 with a walk, two runs and stolen base in three games. The 25-year-old spent most of 2022 at Triple-A Toledo and had a .232/.342/.409 slash line in 103 contests.

Davis was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has yet to play in a major league game in his career, but he has enjoyed a solid season in Triple-A this season. He holds a .235/.340/.423 slash line alongside 20 home runs and 72 RBI. He will likely serve as a depth piece for the Tigers for the rest of the season with Willi Castro (hamstring) moving to the 10-day injured list, ending his campaign.

Davis was claimed off waivers by the TIgers on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

EDGE Analysis

Davis had been on the Angels' 40-man roster since November but had yet to make his major-league debut. He hasn't been particularly good through 36 games for Triple-A Salt Lake, as his .243/.333/.463 slash line is merely good for a 96 wRC+ given the Pacific Coast League's hitter-friendly environment.

Davis (side) went 2-for-5 with an RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake in Sunday's 7-1 win over Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

Davis nursed a side injury late in big-league camp before he was optioned to Triple-A on March 28, but he's looked healthy for the start of the minor-league season. Over six games for Salt Lake, the infielder is slashing .391/.444/.435 with five RBI and three runs across 27 plate appearances.

Davis (side) was optioned back to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis failed to appear in any games this spring while dealing with a side injury, getting optioned back to the minors Monday. The 24-year-old excelled last season with Salt Lake, slashing .333/.409/.641 while hitting eight longballs and driving in 25. Davis will likely be one of the first bats called up if someone goes down on the big-league club this season.
