The Pirates outrighted Davis to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has spent the bulk of the campaign at Indianapolis, where he supplied a 5.64 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 52.2 innings. Those numbers didn't make a strong case for Davis to receive a September callup, so the Pirates elected to drop him from the 40-man roster to clear room for a more deserving option.

Davis (forearm) was activated off the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis originally landed on the shelf in early June due to a blister but ended up facing an extended absence after the forearm injury cropped up during his rehab assignment. The 26-year-old has a 6.75 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB over 10.2 innings and should see the majors again this season, if only when rosters expand in September.

Davis (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been sidelined since early June. While he remains without a timetable for his return, this move means he won't be eligible to return until at least Aug. 7. Parker Markel was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

Davis (forearm) resumed playing catch Wednesday, John Perrotto of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been on the injured list since early June, originally due to a blister. He was shut down for 10 days late in the month due to forearm tightness but appears to be working his way back now. His return timeline remains unclear.

Davis (finger) has been shut down for 10 days due to forearm tightness, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is no longer dealing with the blister on his middle finger, but he suffered the new injury while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis last week. A new timetable for his return will hopefully emerge once he's able to resume his rehab assignment.

Davis (finger) began a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, John Perrotto of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis allowed one run across three innings in his first rehab start with Indianapolis, striking out two. He's expected to make at least one more rehab appearance before potentially rejoining the big club. With Trevor Williams (side) back from the IL and Jordan Lyles (hamstring) nearing a return, Davis may not have a rotation spot to assume once healthy.

Davis (finger) is expected to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis joined the Pittsburgh rotation last week as a replacement for Nick Kingham, who was designated for assignment. He made it only three innings into his first start before developing a blister on his right middle finger that resulted in his placement on the 10-day injured list. Assuming the bullpen session goes well, Davis should get the green light to return when first eligible June 18 or shortly thereafter, but it's unclear if he'll have a rotation spot waiting for him.

Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a blister on his right middle finger.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander struggled against the Brewers in his start Friday, allowing three runs in three innings, and the injury could help explain his woes. Trevor Williams (side) and Chris Stratton (side) appear to be progressing in their rehabs, so it's possible the pitching staff could be full once Davis is ready to return. Reliever Michael Feliz was called up to fill Davis' spot.

Davis (0-1) yielded three runs on four hits and five walks while striking out two over three innings Friday in a loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Davis allowed all three of his runs in the second inning on three hits, and it became evident early on that he couldn't locate his pitches. He fired just 40 of 76 offerings for strikes before getting yanked early in the contest. The 26-year-old was added to the starting rotation prior to Friday's outing, so it remains to be seen whether he'll receive another shot following a rough appearance.

Davis will enter the rotation to start Friday against the Brewers, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been a reliever in all four of his major-league appearances this season, though he's been predominantly a starter throughout his professional career. He hasn't pitched longer than three innings since joining the Pirates on May 25, but he should still be stretched out after being a starter in the minor leagues for most of the season.
