Davidson threw a bullpen session recently and believes he'll pitch in a Cactus League game during spring training, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson has tossed 6.1 innings as a major leaguer, allowing two earned runs and notching a 3:3 K:BB. He remains a long shot to break camp with the Dodgers, but his ability to pitch gives him a bit of a boost in his quest to make the club. If he does log time on the major-league roster this season, Davidson will likely function primarily as a bench bat, though he could potentially see some mop-up duty on the mound.

Davidson is "in the mix" to earn a roster spot during the 2021 season, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson has worked mainly as a designated hitter over the past three seasons, but he's been throwing in the bullpen early in spring training. The Dodgers have a talented lineup and bullpen heading into the season, but manager Dave Roberts still said that he's in contention for a roster spot if he pitches well during camp.

Davidson signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old appeared in 22 games for the Reds in 2020 and had a .163/.234/.395 slash line with three homers in 47 plate appearances. Davidson will face long odds of cracking Los Angeles' talented Opening Day roster.

Davidson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was DFA'd in early September before rejoining the big-league club for the playoffs, so it's not a major surprise to see him cast off the 40-man roster after the season. Davidson had a .163/.234/.395 slash line with three homers and 13 strikeouts in 47 plate appearances this season.

The Reds selected Davidson's contract from their alternate training site Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson will provide the Reds with an extra right-handed power bat off the bench during the team's wild-card series with the Braves, which begins Wednesday. Before he was outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier this month, Davidson appeared in 22 regular-season games with Cincinnati, supplying a .629 OPS across 47 plate appearances.

Davidson cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to the Reds' alternate training site.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson was cast off the Reds' 40-man roster Tuesday, but he'll remain in the organization going forward. The 29-year-old saw limited playing time in the majors this year, slashing .163/.234/.395 over 47 plate appearances.

Davidson was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson filled a part-time role for the Reds this season but didn't do much with his opportunities, hitting just .163/.234/.395 in 47 plate appearances. Tyler Stephenson was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Davidson went 1-for-2 with a grand slam in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson pinch hit for Josh VanMeter in the sixth inning, and he immediately blasted the third pitch he saw far over the left field wall. It's the third homer of the year for Davidson, who has added 10 RBI, three runs scored and a double in 23 plate appearances. He'll likely remain in a bench role.

Davidson went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-3 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Batting cleanup as the first baseman, Davidson capped off the scoring in a six-run second inning with his first long ball of the season. In fact, it was his first MLB homer in nearly two calendar years -- his last was Sept. 3, 2018 as a member of the White Sox. On the strength of a hot spring training and summer camp, Davidson has carved out a role against left-handed pitching.

Davidson denied Saturday that he had COVID-19, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davidson experienced symptoms following last week's Opening Day game and did test positive on one test but tested negative on all future tests, including tests for antibodies. That explains why he was able to return just one week later, appearing off the bench Friday against the Tigers.
