The White Sox are in the market for a designated hitter, a position at which Davidson had his most plate appearances in 2017, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heyman didn't elaborate on who may interest Chicago other than to report outfielder Matt Kemp is not in the organization's sight. With a glut of free-agent hitters on the market, the White Sox could get a capable hitter for cheap dollars. Davidson showed good pop in 2017, finishing second on the team with 26 home runs, but he was a fail in many other facets, slashing .220/.260/.452 with just 19 walks and 165 strikeouts over 443 plate appearances. He was a major reason why White Sox designated hitters ranked 14th out of 15 teams in the AL with a .222 average. Chicago could land a bat that replaces Davidson's power while providing a breadth of offensive capability that the soon-to-be 27-year-old hasn't shown yet during his career. If the White Sox acquire a DH, Davidson could slot in at third base, but he was 36th out of 52 in UZR (-2.1) and 38th in Defensive Runs Saved (-4) among third basemen that played at least 250 innings.

Davidson is out of the lineup against the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson remains on the bench for the third straight game while Rymer Liriano draws the start at the DH spot. The 26-year-old has been struggling at the plate for most of the month, while his season slash line has plummeted to .221/.262/.459.

Davidson is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Davidson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson will get the day off after starting 11 of the last 12 games for the White Sox, going 10-for-42 with two homers and nine RBI over that stretch. In his place, Rob Brantly will serve as the designated hitter, batting eighth.

Davidson went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and three RBI during Friday's win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson entered Friday with a crippling .136/.183/.258 slash line through 18 September games, so he's been off the fantasy radar of late. Friday's outburst has him up to 26 homers and 67 RBI for the season, so he was moving the needle before his recent funk. It's definitely worth noting that Davidson's slump correlates with his return from a stint on the disabled list due to a wrist injury, which could explain his struggles.

Davidson went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson has rocked the Tigers, going 5-for-8 with a double and four RBI over the first two games of the series. However, that two-game outburst comes after a 17-game stretch in which he's hit just .111 (7-for-63) while striking out in nearly 39 percent of his at-bats. The power he showed earlier in the season was helpful to fantasy teams, particularly while he maintained a batting average in the .250-.260 range, but Davidson has settled back in to the low-average hitter he's shown to be in the minors. He has 24 home runs this season but it's come with a lot of baggage.
