Davidson (calf) is feeling better and is available off the bench again for Friday's series opener against Baltimore, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson has been battling a sore left calf, and although he's yet to receive an at-bat since suffering the injury, he's trending in the right direction. Expect the 27-year-old third baseman to see action sometime over the weekend.

Davidson sat out the last two games with lower extremity discomfort, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson had been a regular in the lineup while Jose Abreu was on the disabled list, which may have contributed to his injury. He had primarily been a designated hitter before getting multiple starts in the field after Abreu's injury. With Abreu back, Davidson's playing time will take a hit.

Davidson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a walkoff two-run homer against the Tigers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After Daniel Palka tied things up with his solo homer to open the ninth, Welington Castillo singled before Davidson followed up with a homer of his own the end things. The long ball was his 20th of the season and second in the past four games, while it also extended his hit streak to seven contests.

Davidson went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 6-1 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson launched his 19th homer, putting him within reach of a second consecutive 20-homer season. He's been a regular in the lineup, starting 12 straight games while Jose Abreu (abdomen) is sidelined, and has taken advantage. He's batting .271 (13-for-48) with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI during that stretch. With Abreu at least a week out from returning to baseball activities, there should be plenty of chances for Davidson to reach the 20-homer threshold.

Davidson went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson got the start at first base against Tigers left-hander Ryan Carpenter on the mound. With first baseman Jose Abreu (abdomen) sidelined, the left-handed hitting Nicky Delmonico has been the primary starter at first; however, Davidson's been productive of late and manager Rick Renteria wanted to get him in the lineup. Davidson's started six straight and has hit safely in five of them, going 7-for-24 with three doubles, a home run and six RBI.

Davidson went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox placed Jose Abreu (abdomen) on the disabled list, which opens up opportunities for guys like Davidson and Daniel Palka. With Abreu unavailable, Nicky Delmonico moved from left field to first base; Palka slides from DH to left; and Davidson enters the lineup as the DH. It might be a good time to stream the streaky Davidson, who is batting .346 (9-for-26) with two home runs, five RBI and five runs scored over his last six games. The White Sox kick off a series with the pitching-poor Tigers (-0.4 WAR since Aug. 1) on Thursday.

Davidson started at first base in place of the injured Jose Abreu (groin) and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Twins. Abreu will be sidelined for at least two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox could use either Davidson or Nicky Delmonico to fill in at first base, although Delmonico may be needed in the outfield after the club placed Leury Garcia (hamstring) on the disabled list Tuesday. Davidson had seen his playing time cut back with the emergence of Daniel Palka, but the Abreu injury opens up a steady stream of at-bats for the power-hitting corner infielder.

Davidson went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 8-5 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson started at third base while Yolmer Sanchez filled in for a resting Yoan Moncada at second base. Davidson's been getting some regular playing time of late, starting four of the last six games. He's hit safely in all four starts, going 7-for-18 with two homers and five RBI. He'll go on runs like this, but they rarely sustain.

Davidson went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson found his name in the starting lineup for the second straight day following a stretch in which he appeared in just three of the previous 12 games. He started at third base in both games while primary third-sacker Yolmer Sanchez covered for second baseman Yoan Moncada on Tuesday and shortstop Tim Anderson on Wednesday. Davidson can be a dangerous threat when in the lineup -- he homers once every 5.3 games, slightly down from one every 4.5 last year -- but he's not in the lineup enough. He's been losing at-bats to Daniel Palka who has become the primary designated hitter.
