Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zach Davies (oblique) will be activated from the IL on Saturday and will start against the Boston Red Sox. The 30-year-old right-hander has been out since April 9 with a left oblique strain. It's to be determined which current D-Backs starter will be demoted from the starting rotation but we should find out shortly. Davies logged two starts prior to his injury and put together an ugly 5.79 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 7:6 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings. He can be ...

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zach Davies (oblique) is scheduled to pitch in another extended spring training game Sunday or Monday. He has been sidelined since early April with an oblique strain. Davis will throw 55 pitches, and the Diamondbacks will have him throw a couple more sessions before activating from the injured list. The 30-year-old owns a 5.79 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and a 7:6 K: BB across 9 1/3 innings in 2023. Davies is expected to rejoin Arizona's rotation later this month but is ...

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zach Davies (oblique) exited Saturday's game against the Dodgers. The 30-year-old logged 4 1/3 innings, surrendering five runs while walking four before getting pulled because of an oblique strain. Davies is likely heading for the injured list, with skipper Torey Lovullo stating the righty will miss "weeks." Lovullo also indicated there are "a lot of options on the table" regarding his replacement, including Drey Jameson, who is currently sitting on a 2-0 ...

The Arizona Diamondbacks re-signed right-hander Zach Davies to a one-year deal worth $5 million on Wednesday. The deal also includes $3 million in incentives. Davies became a free agent this offseason after declining his $1.5 million mutual option for the 2023 season. The 29-year-old makes sense for an up-and-coming Arizona team at the back end of their rotation as an innings-eater. Davies went 2-5 for the Snakes last season with a 4.09 ERA (4.83 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, 17.9 percent strikeout rate and ...

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed right-hander Zach Davies (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation and recalled reliever Sean Poppen from the minors in a corresponding move. Davies will now miss at least the next two weeks and possibly longer, depending on the severity of his injury. The 29-year-old allowed two earned runs on five hits while walking one and striking out two in his last outing on Saturday, and he's 2-4 on the season with a 3.94 ERA, 1.20 ...

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zach Davies (leg) is on track to make his scheduled start on Sunday. He was helped off the field after taking a line drive off his leg during Monday's game. The tests came back clean, so it sounds like Davies will take the mound against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. He is posting a 4.81 ERA through nine starts this season. It's unlikely that Davies is going to be a reliable option for Sunday's outing. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better ...

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zach Davies (leg) left his outing on Monday against the Kansas City Royals with a right lower leg contusion. Third baseman Drew Ellis also left the contest early with right side discomfort. Davis took a line drive off his leg and limped off with trainers. Before he left the game, the 29-year-old allowed four earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out two over 3 2/3 innings. It's unknown if Davies will be able to make his next scheduled ...

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell's (knee) MRI exam came back clean on Thursday, according to manager Dave Martinez. Bell will go through pre-game drills before the team decides if he can play on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zach Davies. The 29-year-old was removed from the game early on Wednesday when he felt tightness in his left knee, but he seems to have avoided a serious injury. Fantasy managers will need to check if he's in the lineup on Thursday ...

Free-agent starting pitcher Zach Davies signed a one-year major league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Davies will have the chance to make up to $4.5 million and includes a team option for 2023. The veteran right-hander doesn't get many swings and misses (6.6 career K/9) and had a 5.78 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 32 starts over 148 innings for the Chicago Cubs in 2021. But the 29-year-old has plenty of starting experience (155 career starts) in seven big-league seasons, so he should be ...

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies put together another bad outing in Sunday's no-decision versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The right-hander only went four innings and allowed eight hits, six runs, three walks and struck out three on the afternoon. Davies has had a dismal year for the Cubs and is 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA. Next up for Davies will be a tough matchup versus the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Davies should be avoided in all matchups and remain on the waiver wire in all formats.
