Davidson is not in the lineup against the Reds on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson will remain on the bench for a second straight game as the team is unable to deploy the DH in a National League park. Look for him to rejoin the starting lineup against the Astros on Thursday.

Davidson is not starting Monday against the Reds, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic Cincinnati reports.
EDGE Analysis
There's no room for Chicago's regular designated hitter with the game being played in a National League park. Davidson is unlikely to get a start over Jose Abreu at first base, but he could start at third over Yolmer Sanchez in at least one game of the three-game series.

Davidson went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson has gone back-to-back with three-hit games, knocking a pair of doubles, a home run and driving in four. We've noticed a slight improvement in Davidson's plate approach -- strikeouts are slightly down while walks are up significantly, but he's still a streaky hitter, so it's best to ride him when he's hot and stash him for the cold spells.

Davidson is out of Friday's lineup against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger is in a rough funk at the plate, going 2-for-28 with 16 strikeouts (50 percent strikeout rate) over his last seven games. Daniel Palka will start at designated hitter and hit cleanup.

Davidson went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and two walks in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson is having an absolutely atrocious June. His .243 batting average at the end of May has dropped down to .219, mostly due to his 39 strikeouts in just 75 at-bats this month. He's struck out three or more times in six of his last 15 games. Davidson has 24 extra-base hits and a .787 OPS on the year.

Davidson is not in the lineup against Minnesota on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson will take a seat on the pine after going 1-for-5 with four strikeouts during Tuesday's game. In his place, Daniel Palka will serve as the White Sox's DH and bat fourth.

Davidson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Daniel Palka will take over as the designated hitter and cleanup man as Davidson heads to the bench amidst a 1-for-19 stretch. Davidson has hit 13 homers this season and is walking a lot more than he did a year ago, but the 35.5 percent strikeout rate will continue to limit his batting average.

Davidson accounted for the White Sox's lone run with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a while since Davidson showed off his home run trot, going 19 games since his last big fly May 13. During his breakout 2017 campaign, he sent balls over walls once every 4.5 games. Maybe the back issues that surfaced in May lingered for a bit after his activation. Since coming off the disabled list June 5, Davidson is just 9-for-43 (.209), but has hit safely in four of the last five with a homer, two doubles and three RBI.

Davidson is not in the lineup against Cleveland on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson snapped out of a mini-slump during Tuesday's game, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and a pair of RBI. Even so, he will get the night off following eight straight starts as Daniel Palka is set to serve as the DH, giving way to Trayce Thompson in right field. Look for Davidson to rejoin the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Davidson struck out in all four at-bats in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson has struck out in eight straight at-bats and is hitless over his last 17. Since being activated off the disabled list seven games ago, the slugging DH is 2-for-24 (.083) with a double, a run scored and 14 strikeouts.
