Davis' contract was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis appeared in two games for the Pirates last year and will rejoin the major-league roster after Tyler Heineman (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. Over 35 Triple-A games this year, Davis has hit .282 with four doubles, 14 RBU and eight runs. He should serve as catching depth behind Jason Delay.

The Pirates reassigned Davis to minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was one of three non-roster catchers who was sent to minor-league camp Tuesday, leaving the Pirates without an obvious No. 2 option behind top backstop Roberto Perez with Opening Day just two days away. Pittsburgh will most likely explore the trade or free-agent market for another option to slot behind Perez on the depth chart.

The Pirates signed Davis to a minor-league contract March 11.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been competing with Michael Perez for the Pirates' backup catching job behind Roberto Perez. Whether Davis or Michael Perez ultimately emerges as the No. 2 option, neither is likely to play much more than twice per week while Roberto Perez is healthy.

Davis was released by the Pirates on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old, who collected a pair of singles Saturday, could work his way into a platoon with Michael Perez while starter Jacob Stallings (concussion) remains sidelined. Davis has slashed .253/.347/.331 at Triple-A with two homers in 176 plate appearances in 2021.

Davis had his contract selected by the Pirates on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was acquired by the Pirates in June and will receive his first big-league opportunity with the organization since Jacob Stallings (concussion) landed on the injured list. Davis should operate as the No. 2 backstop while Michael Perez handles primary catching duties with Stallings out.
