Davis went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a loss to the Marlins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' first big-league long ball was a no-doubter, leaving his bat at 100.5 mph and traveling an estimated 407 feet to left-center field. It was just the second hit of his major-league career, and he's now 2-for-12 with four strikeouts through four games. Though Davis appears to be locked into an everyday role with the Pirates, he has yet to play behind the plate since his call-up, making two starts in right field and two at DH.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a walk and a double Monday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Davis doubled down the third-base line in his first big-league at-bat but was ultimately stranded there. He hit seventh in his debut, though if he performs well, he should move up the order quickly. The Pirates have stated that Davis will see most of his playing time in right field, which could have a ripple effect on the rest of the lineup, particularly putting Connor Joe and Josh Palacios at risk of losing playing time.

Davis was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Pirates camp.
EDGE Analysis
Lolo Sanchez and Matt Gorski were also sent out. Following some earlier cuts on Tuesday morning, the Pirates are now down to 59 players in major-league camp. Davis has battled multiple injuries as a pro but boasts an .890 OPS in 67 career minor-league games and could arrive in the bigs at some point later this season.

Davis received an invitation to the major-league side of Pirates camp this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Davis struggled through multiple injuries in 2022, most prominently a fractured left wrist, but he had a terrific run in the Arizona Fall League and is ready to again continue his ascent through the Pirates' farm system. Selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft out of the University of Louisville, the 23-year-old catcher has posted an .890 OPS in 67 career minor-league games. He could make his MLB debut in late 2023.

Double-A Altoona intends to reinstate Davis (wrist) from its 7-day injured list during the upcoming week, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis started a rehab assignment at Single-A Bradenton last Tuesday and has played in five games for the affiliate, going 4-for-11 with a home run and a stolen base. He could end up playing in another game or two for Bradenton, but in the absence of any setbacks with his nagging left wrist injury, Davis should settle back in as Altoona's primary backstop before long.

Davis (wrist) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Bradenton, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft will make his return to game action for the first time since July 2, after he was shut down for an extended period due to recurring soreness in the left wrist he fractured earlier in the campaign. Davis currently resides on Double-A Altoona's 7-day injured list, and he may not be formally reinstated until he's able to play a full game at catcher for one of the Pirates' lower-level affiliates.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Davis (wrist) has been cleared for full baseball activities, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tomczyk said that the next step in Davis' recovery program from a left wrist issue will be to make his return to game action, and the 22-year-old catcher will presumably first do that at a lower-level affiliate as part of a rehab assignment. Davis made just 17 appearances for Double-A Altoona before he was shut down in early July and placed on the IL with the same wrist injury that had kept him out of action at High-A Greensboro for nearly a month earlier in the season.

Davis (wrist) has had no issues while hitting or catching as he prepares to return to action, though he is still not ready to come back, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' left wrist has been an issue for him all season, causing him to miss a significant amount of time in Double-A Altoona. When he has been healthy, he's slashed .177/.320/.355 over 75 plate appearances.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Thursday that Davis (wrist) has resumed "gripping activities," Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tomczyk didn't offer a timeline for when Davis might be able to take batting practice, much less play in games, so he looks set to remain on Double-A Altoona's injured list for at least a week or longer. Due to recurring wrist issues, Davis has played in just 17 games for Altoona since receiving a promotion from High-A Greensboro in early May.

Davis (wrist) will be shut down for a couple weeks, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis landed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Altoona last week due to a left wrist issue and won't participate in activities for several weeks. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but the team plans to re-evaluate the catcher after he's been shut down for a few weeks.
