Davis went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old journeyman scored the Marlins' only run in the third inning after leading off the frame by drawing a walk and stealing his first bag of 2023. Davis has plugged a hole in center field while Jazz Chisholm (toe) is on the shelf, but after going 6-for-7 at Coors Field in his first two games for Miami, he's managed only two hits in his last 19 at-bats.

Davis will start in center field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row and will get his second straight turn atop the batting order despite going 0-for-6 with two runs scored in Saturday's 8-5 win. Though Davis isn't a good bet to stick atop the lineup for a prolonged stretch, he could have a fairly clear path to playing time in the outfield while all of Avisail Garcia (back), Jazz Chisholm (toe) and Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) are stuck on the injured list.

Davis went 3-for-3 with a triple, two walks and a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Davis, making his first start in Miami, reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances, including a triple off Kyle Freeland in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old outfielder was brought up to fill a depth role with the Marlins, though he could see some playing time with Avisail Garcia (back), Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) and Jazz Chisholm (toe) all on the IL. Davis had 91 plate appearances with the Brewers last season, where he slashed .224/.344/.237 with seven stolen bases.

The Marlins selected Davis from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
A day after being traded from Detroit to Miami in exchange for Brady Allen, Davis will return to the majors for the first time in 2023. The 31-year-old outfielder is slashing .258/.336/.516 through 140 plate appearances in Triple-A this season and could see regular playing time while Avisail Garcia (back), Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) and Jazz Chisholm (toe) are all injured.

The Marlins acquired Davis from the Tigers on Monday in exchange for Brady Allen.
EDGE Analysis
It's an exchange of minor-league outfielders, as the Tigers got a younger player and the Marlins get some major-league ready depth. Davis is a career .185/.291/.245 hitter over parts of five big-league seasons.

The Tigers reassigned Davis to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With Akil Baddoo getting sent out to Triple-A Toledo and with Davis getting reassigned, Detroit appears set to enter the regular season with Riley Greene, Austin Meadows Matt Vierling, Kerry Carpenter and utility men Zach McKinstry and Ryan Kreidler as its options in the outfield. Davis, who slashed .224/.344/.237 in 91 plate appearances in the majors with Milwaukee in 2022, is likely to join Baddoo in Toledo to begin the 2023 campaign.

Davis agreed Monday with the Tigers on a minor-league contract and received an invitation to MLB spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played 37 games in the majors for the Brewers in 2022, putting together a .224/.344/.237 slash line across 91 plate appearances. The 30-year-old outfielder will have an outside chance of winning a bench spot with the Tigers if he performs well in the Grapefruit League.

Davis was released by the Brewers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis had his contract selected by Milwaukee in June and played in 37 games before he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in September. The 30-year-old posted a .224/.344/.237 slash line with four RBI and seven stolen bases in 91 plate appearances.

The Brewers reinstated Davis (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and outrighted him to Triple-A Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Though Milwaukee never officially announced the transaction, the veteran outfielder was apparently exposed to waivers upon being activated from the IL and will stay in the organization after going unclaimed. Before being placed on the IL on Aug. 27 with a right elbow effusion, Davis logged a .224/.344/.237 slash line over 91 plate appearances for Milwaukee on the season.
