Davis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Davis had started at first base in both of the Athletics' previous two matchups with right-handed pitchers, going 2-for-7 with a pair of singles. Though the Mariners are bringing another righty (Bryan Woo) to the hill for Thursday's series finale, Davis will cede his spot in the lineup to Tyler Soderstrom. The Athletics could elect to rotate Davis, Soderstrom and Aledmys Diaz at first base until one of the three begins performing well enough to take control of an everyday role.

Davis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will remain on the bench for the fourth consecutive contest Saturday. He appears to have fallen out of favor as the primary option at first base with Oakland. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start first and bat eighth against Atlanta.

Davis is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will miss a third consecutive game Friday -- each of which has come against right-handed pitching. Considering the 31-year-old has been significantly better against southpaws, he could slip into the short side of a platoon. Tyler Soderstrom will fill in at the cold corner and bat eighth.

Davis is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is on the bench for a second straight day. The Rays are using a right-handed opener in Shawn Armstrong, so it's possible Davis enters mid-game if Tampa Bay eventually turns to a lefty. Davis has a .776 OPS against southpaws this season versus just a .581 OPS versus righties. Aledmys Diaz will start at first base Thursday.

Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will hit the bench after he went 1-for-6 at the dish while starting in both of the past two games. Tyler Soderstrom will step in for Davis at first base.

Davis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The righty-hitting Davis will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Astros sending out right-hander Spencer Arrighetti. Davis has recorded a hit in each of his last four games, going 7-for-16 with two home runs and three RBI over that span. Brent Rooker will serve as the designated hitter Saturday, while Daz Cameron draws the start in left field.

Davis went 3-for-4 in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has gone 7-for-16 with three RBI over his last four games, though that followed a rough 1-for-17 stretch over seven contests. The 31-year-old is slashing .229/.270/.381 with four home runs, five RBI and 11 runs scored over 31 games this season. Davis should continue to see steady playing time versus southpaws, but the Athletics' outfield, now crowded by the activation of Miguel Andujar (knee) and the promotion of Daz Cameron, could spill over into Davis' designated hitter spot.

Davis went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run in an extra-innings win over the Rockies on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis gave the Athletics a serious boost in the eighth inning when he left the yard with Seth Brown aboard and Oakland down by three. Half of Davis' four homers on the season have come in the last three games, and with hits in each of those contests, he's pushed his OPS (.618) to its highest point since May 8.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's in over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Davis got the A's on the board with a solo blast off Cal Quantrill in the third inning. It was his first home run since he had two against the Guardians on March 29 and just his second hit in his last 20 plate appearances since May 11. The 31-year-old has lost out on playing time due to his offensive struggles. He's now slashing .196/.237/.337 with seven extra-base hits, three RBI, 10 runs and a 4:25 BB:K in 97 plate appearances.

Davis remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has now started just once in the Athletics' last five games, as he's seemingly moved into the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Tyler Soderstrom, who has recently taken over as the team's primary first baseman. The 31-year-old has supplied a career-worst .586 OPS over 83 plate appearances this season, and the non-contending Athletics don't have much incentive to give him regular playing time while he's struggling to produce.
