Davis (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed the start of the year with left knee tendinitis, but he joined Triple-A Sacramento for a rehab assignment June 10 and slashed .316/.418/.754 with seven home runs, 22 RBI and 16 runs in 14 rehab games. He should serve mainly in a depth role in San Francisco's outfield after Mike Tauchman (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Davis (knee) has reported to Triple-A Sacramento to begin a rehab assignment, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been out since the start of the regular season due to left knee tendinitis, but he appears to be nearing his return to full health. The 26-year-old may remain with the Triple-A club once his rehab assignment is complete, but he should rejoin the major-league roster at some point this year if he performs well in the minors.

Davis (knee) was recalled and placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was ruled out 4-to-6 weeks at the start of April with left knee tendinitis, and he'll now likely be sidelined until June. Davis was recalled as a procedural move so he could be shifted to the 60-day IL in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Thairo Estrada.

Davis has left knee tendinitis and will be out 4-to-6 weeks, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was sent to the minors in mid March after hitting .200 with 12 strikeouts in 22 spring plate appearances. He hits the ball hard and has impressive raw power, but Davis has been unable to crack through with a significant big-league role. Look for him to get another look sometime this summer if he is performing well at Triple-A once fully healthy.

The Giants optioned Davis to their minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Since being acquired from the Twins at the 2019 trade deadline, Davis has struggled in his limited opportunities at the big-league level, slashing a collective .167/.237/.278 in 59 plate appearances across the past two seasons. All of Mike Yastrzemski, Alex Dickerson, Mauricio Dubon and Austin Slater were clearly ahead of Davis for playing time in the San Francisco outfield, so the 26-year-old will likely head to Triple-A Sacramento pick up regular work.

Davis (knee) is expected to start Saturday's spring game against the Royals, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has yet to appear in a Cactus League this season due to a sore knee, but he's slated to play right field and bat ninth against Kansas City on Saturday. The 26-year-old ran the bases Thursday, and the Giants didn't sound too concerned about his injury. Assuming he's fully healthy, Davis should now compete for a spot on the major-league roster heading into the regular season.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Thursday that Davis has had some knee soreness but will return to the lineup soon, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has yet to appear in a Cactus League game this year, but Kapler's update provides an explanation for his absence. However, Davis ran the bases Thursday, and the team doesn't sound too concerned about his long-term health. Once he's fully healthy, Davis should compete for a spot on the major-league roster heading into the regular season.

Davis was optioned to the Giants' alternate training site Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis saw his fair share of playing time over the start of the season, appearing in four of the Giants' six games while going 2-for-12 with a solo home run and six strikeouts. However, Davis and fellow outfielder Joe McCarthy were optioned Thursday to make room on the 30-man roster for Brandon Belt (Achilles) and Evan Longoria (oblique) who were both reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Given Davis' lack of results at the major-league level, it's unclear whether he'll return to the active roster this season.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Friday's loss at Dodger Stadium.
EDGE Analysis
Making his season debut, Davis drove an opposite field home run against Ross Stripling in the third inning to get the Giants on the board. The right-handed outfielder is expected to share a platoon role with Joe McCarthy, who earned the start in Thursday's Opening Day loss. Last season, Davis played in 17 games, batting a mere .167 with one home run.
