Davis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Davis tied the game in the top of the eighth with a 379-foot solo shot off Craig Kimbrel. The former No. 1 pick may have re-found his rhythm after initially struggling in his return from the injured list for a hand strain Sept. 16. Davis extended his active hit streak to five games while also popping an extra base hit in three straight. The rookie is slashing .219/.304/.367 in 237 plate appearances over 58 games.

Davis isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against Cincinnati, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
After slugging a home run Friday to extend his hitting streak to three games, Davis will take a seat to begin Saturday's game. Josh Palacios will start in right field, and Ke'Bryan Hayes will operate as Pittsburgh's designated hitter while Jared Triolo covers the hot corner.

Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Davis hit his sixth homer of the season in the fifth inning, which also marked his first extra-base hit since being activated from the injured list Sept. 16. In five games since his return, he has a 65 percent strikeout rate with only one walk and three hits in 19 at-bats. He remains a near-everyday player in the Pittsburgh lineup, though he's most recently hit seventh or eighth.

The Pirates reinstated Davis (hand) from the injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
A strained right hand forced Davis onto the injured list Aug. 21, and he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday. Davis impressively went 8-for-13 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored across four games during his assignment, so he'll be swinging a hot bat as he slides back in as Pittsburgh's primary right fielder. Vinny Capra was optioned to Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis
A right hand strain forced Davis onto the 10-day injured list Aug. 23, and he's now set to begin the final stage of his recovery process. The Pirates haven't indicated how long Davis will remain in the minors, but he will almost certainly make it back before the end of the season.

Davis (hand) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis resumed taking batting practice last week and has apparently progressed without issue. On the shelf since Aug. 23 due to a strained right hand, the 23-year-old catcher and corner outfielder should be able to fit in a few more weeks of major-league games with the Pirates before the 2023 season comes to an end.

Davis' placement on the 10-day injured list Monday was the result of a right hand strain, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pirates called up utility man Vinny Capra to take Davis' spot on the 26-man active roster, but Josh Palacios looks like the top candidate to serve as Davis' primary replacement in right field while he's on the shelf. According to the report, Davis' soreness is concentrated around his right thumb, and the injury has apparently been something that has lingered for a while. The hand issue likely at least partially explains why Davis had batted just .158 with a .492 OPS in August before hitting the shelf.

Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Pirates did not announce why Davis landed on the injured list, but regardless he will be unavailable for the next 10 days. Josh Palacios will start in place of Davis on Monday night and is the favorite to be Pittsburg's regular right fielder until Davis is ready to return.
