Davis isn't starting the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Davis recently drew six straight starts, but he'll now be excluded from the lineup for a second straight game. Lourdes Gurriel, Randal Grichuk and Teoscar Hernandez will start in the outfield from left to right.

Davis will start in center field and bat ninth Sunday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays appear to value the defense Davis provides in center field, as he'll be manning the position for the fifth game in a row. He could be in store for steady work in the outfield until George Springer (quadriceps) is back from the injured list, but aside from providing the occasional stolen base, Davis probably can't be counted on to provide much production from a fantasy standpoint. Over 209 career plate appearances in the majors, Davis is slashing .197/.300/.292.

Davis went 1-for-1 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Davis entered the game in the seventh as a defensive substitution and wound up kicking off a three-run eighth with a leadoff double and eventually came around to score on an RBI single by Vladimir Guerrero. The 29-year-old was first to bat once again in the ninth and reached base after getting hit by a pitch. He ended up stealing second but was left stranded. Davis figures to remain with the big-league club while George Springer (quadriceps) is on the injured list but won't see any regular action unless another one of the team's starting outfielders gets hurt.

Davis was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was demoted last week with George Springer (quadriceps returning from the injured list, and he'll rejoin the team with Springer aggravating his injury. Davis should operate as Toronto's fourth outfielder with Lourdes Gurriel, Randal Grichuk and Teoscar Hernandez set to handle the everyday roles in the outfield.

Davis was optioned to the alternate training site Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old made the Opening Day roster but will head to the alternate site with George Springer active and Teoscar Hernandez (COVID-19) returning from the injured list. Davis is unlikely to be a factor in the outfield for the Blue Jays while Springer, Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel and Randal Grichuk remain healthy.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old came into Saturday looking for his first hit of the season, and Davis made it a loud one when he turned on a Mike Minor offering in the fifth inning and rang it off the left-field foul pole. He got rewarded with another start in the nightcap but went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, and Davis' narrow window for playing time will close once George Springer (quad) and Teoscar Hernandez (COVID-19) are ready to return.

Davis will begin the regular season in the majors, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis spent the final month of the 2020 season in the majors, and he secured a spot on the Opening Day roster in 2021 after slashing .323/.432/.484 with one home run, four RBI and three stolen bases in 16 Grapefruit League games. He'll serve as outfield depth for Toronto to begin the regular season.

Davis entered Saturday's game against the Mets in the eighth inning as a pinch runner for Joe Panik and stole second base.

EDGE Analysis

Blue Jays.manager Charlie Montoyo opted to sub in Davis as a pinch runner in the eighth and then utilize his speed in the outfield to finish out the game. Davis should continue to serve as an outfield depth option and speed specialist for the Blue Jays while receiving an occasional start.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Davis took J.A. Happ deep in the second inning, providing the Blue Jays with the only offense they'd need to secure a win. It was his first home run of the season and third of his career. Davis will get a chance for some playing time with Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) sidelined, but it will likely come primarily against southpaws in relief of Derek Fisher.

Davis was recalled by the Blue Jays on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis spent the start of the season at alternate camp after missing a portion of camp for an undisclosed reason. He should fill a depth role in the outfield after Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
