Davies did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over three innings against Colorado. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rough outing for Davies, who had allowed just two runs over his previous two starts (11 innings). The Rockies got to him early Wednesday, scoring four times in the first inning after the first four batters reached safely. Overall, Davies is 2-5 with an unsightly 6.81 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 59:33 K:BB across 15 starts (71.1 innings) this season. He'll look to get on track in his next start, currently scheduled for early next week against the Mets.

Davies (back) allowed a run on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Davies was solid in his return from lower-back inflammation, with his lone mistake being a solo home run by Matt McLain in the sixth inning. Davies threw 86 pitches (54 strikes) in the start, his sharpest since he posted seven shutout innings against the Rays on June 28. The veteran right-hander has had more downs than ups in 2023, pitching to a 6.93 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 51:29 K:BB through 62.1 innings over 13 starts. He's projected for a tough home start versus Baltimore next week.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Davies (back) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Davies will return from the IL to start Saturday against the Reds. The 30-year-old righty hasn't found much success this season, accumulating a 7.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 57.1 innings and also surrendering 13 runs over 13.1 frames during his rehab assignment. Justin Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Davies (back) is scheduled to return to the Diamondbacks' rotation Saturday at home against the Reds, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davies got the go-ahead Tuesday after throwing 87 pitches over six innings in his third and final minor-league rehab outing Sunday with Triple-A Reno. The 30-year-old right-hander has been on the injured list since July 19 due to lower-back inflammation. He's posted a rough 7.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 12 major-league starts this season.

Davies (back) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings for Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Davies was poised to be activated and start for the Diamondbacks on Sunday, but Hurricane Hilary forced that game to be moved up to Saturday as part of a doubleheader. Instead, Davies made a third rehab start, getting up to 87 pitches, and he should be ready to go this weekend against the Reds. As middling as Sunday's results sound, it was the best of his three rehab starts. In three turns for the Aces, Davies allowed 13 runs on 22 hits and seven walks while striking out six over 13.1 innings.

Davies (back) will make a third rehab start for Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davies is on schedule to pitch Sunday and was Arizona's likely starter in San Diego, but that game was moved up to Saturday as part of a doubleheader due to the impending hurricane scheduled to make landfall in Southern California on Sunday. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Davies won't start Saturday, so the right-hander will instead make another rehab start in Reno before returning from the 15-day injured list.

Davies (back) is ready to return from the 15-day injured list and could start Sunday against the Padres, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The caveat to Davies pitching in San Diego is the weather. Hurricane Hilary is gaining strength off the coast of Mexico and is expected to bring heavy rains to Southern California on Sunday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated that he wants Davies to throw that day and implied the right-hander could make another rehab start in the minors if the Diamondbacks are rained out. If the right-hander doesn't get activated Sunday, then his return to Arizona's rotation would be pushed back to the following weekend for a home series versus the Reds.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo would not commit to activating Davies (back) for a start Sunday, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davies had a second rehab start Tuesday, throwing 80 pitches, which lines up perfectly for a Sunday return, but the skipper isn't ready to make that decision. "We're just gonna evaluate him day to day," Lovullo said. "He's gonna rejoin us at some point. When that happens, we're not sure." Perhaps the results of Tuesday's start linger with the manager. The right-hander allowed seven runs on 11 hits with just two strikeouts in three innings. Lovullo was encouraged that Davies pitched with more of a gameplan following a five-run first inning, then added he wants to make sure Davies is feeling good following the outing.

Davies (back) allowed seven runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out two over three innings for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davies made his second rehab start in advance of what could be an activation this weekend. The organization seemed intent on having the right-hander up his pitch count regardless of the results. He threw 80 pitches and appears to be stretched out enough to rejoin the club and start Sunday, if the Diamondbacks choose to keep in the rotation. Davies has a 7.38 ERA over 12 starts.

Davies (back) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davies will be making his second rehab start after throwing 4.1 innings last Thursday for the Aces. It looks like the Diamondbacks may get creative with the rotation until Davies is ready to return. The club cut the cord on rookie right-hander Ryne Nelson, who was optioned back to Reno as part of a roster shakeup Sunday. That essentially leaves them with three starters -- Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly (leg) and Brandon Pfaadt. "Ryne did a good job in some of his games," Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said. "It just was wildly inconsistent for us. We ended up using a lot of bullpen in those days, anyway. The decision was, if we're using a lot of bullpen in those days, anyway, looking at it just as a traditional starter situation wasn't the right way we should be looking at it." Bryce Jarvis, a starter throughout his career, was called up Sunday and will pitch out of the bullpen. Slade Cecconi is up with the team and made one start and one relief appearance. Arizona also has Tyler Gilbert for multiple innings.
