Davis (wrist) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Altoona on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed nearly a month earlier this season with a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist, and he'll now take some time off since the injury apparently didn't heal properly. He was last in the lineup for Altoona on Saturday and was playing through some discomfort before being held out the past few days with soreness.

Double-A Altoona manager Kieran Mattison said that Davis hasn't been included in the lineup since Saturday due to a nagging left wrist injury, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A non-displaced fracture of the same wrist previously forced the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 first-year player draft to miss just under a month of action earlier in the season, so it's somewhat troubling that the wrist is bothering him again. Since rejoining Altoona on June 11 following a brief rehab assignment, Davis has slashed an unremarkable .175/.299/.316 with six extra-base hits in 15 games. He'll likely be monitored for a few more days as Altoona weighs whether to place the 22-year-old catcher on the 7-day injured list once again.

Davis (wrist) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Double-A Altoona on Friday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dvais has been out the past month after suffering a fractured left wrist, but he's rejoined Altoona after making two rehab appearances in the lower minors. The 22-year-old, who is the Pirates' top prospect, had a .341/.450/.585 slash line in 22 games at High-A Greensboro to begin the season before being promoted to Double-A.

Davis (wrist) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with the Pirates' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will likely need only a few tune-up games in the FCL before the Pirates send him back to Double-A Altoona, where he played just two games following his call-up from High-A Greensboro before suffering a non-displaced fracture of his left wrist. Once Adley Rutschman logs enough at-bats with the Orioles to exhaust his prospect eligibility, Davis will become the clear No. 1 catching prospect in baseball.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Davis (wrist) has resumed full baseball activities, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has recovered quickly after sustaining a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist May 22, and he's expected to have his rehab transferred to the Pirates' extended spring training facility soon. The 22-year-old seems to be trending toward a return to game action sometime in early-to-mid June.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Tuesday that he expects Davis (wrist) to resume baseball activities in "days, not weeks," Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of his left wrist last week, but the Pirates appear confident that the 22-year-old backstop won't have to miss extensive time on account of the injury. If Cherington's projected timeline for Davis to resume baseball activities proves accurate, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 first-year player draft might be ready to return to game action by early June. Since the injury is to Davis' non-throwing arm, he should be able to quickly settle back in as Double-A Altoona's catcher once activated from the 7-day injured list instead of having to serve as a designated hitter.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington clarified Sunday that Davis is recovering from a "small non-displaced fracture" in his left wrist, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury had initially been labeled as a bruised left wrist when Davis was placed on the 7-day injured list Wednesday after just two games into his tenure at Double-A Altoona. As a result of the updated diagnosis, Davis will miss more than seven days on account of the injury, but the fact that the fracture is non-displaced means that the young backstop's recovery timeline could be measured in weeks rather than months. Between his two minor-league stops this season, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2021 first-year player draft was batting .333 with 10 extra-base hits and five stolen bases over 108 plate appearances.

Double-A Altoona placed Davis (wrist) on its 7-day injured list Wednesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis hasn't played since May 12 due to the left wrist contusion, but the Pirates were optimistic that he would be ready to rejoin the Altoona lineup later this week. Ultimately, the organization determined the 2021 No. 1 overall pick was better served getting some time off to rest. Between stops at Altoona and High-A Greensboro this season, Davis is hitting .333 with six home runs and five stolen bases across 108 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Davis has appeared in two games since being promoted to Altoona and has gone 1-for-5 with a homer, two runs, two RBI and a walk. In spite of his recent absence, he's expected to return to the lineup sometime this week.

Davis was promoted to Double-A Altoona on Sunday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
EDGE Analysis
Davis got off to a hot start at High-A Greensboro this year, slashing .350/.448/.600 with five homers, 22 RBI, 18 runs and five RBI over 21 games. The 22-year-old has a limited sample in the minors but will have a chance to prove himself against increased competition following his promotion.
