Davies needed just 85 pitches to throw a shutout with Low-A Wisconsin on Monday. He gave up seven hits while posting a 6:9 K:BB in the outing.
EDGE Analysis
The level of competition was clearly far below Davies' capabilities, but the results were impressive nonetheless. Davies is expected to rejoin the big club this week, but it remains to be seen which role he will be used in next time he takes the mound.

General manager David Stearns said Friday that he expects Davies to rejoin the Brewers' starting rotation at some point in September, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stearns added that the club is considering planning certain "match-ups" for their staff instead of utilizing a typical rotation, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. For the time being, Davies will hand around Low-A Wisconsin after being activated from the DL and optioned to the minors Thursday. Look for him to make a start for the Timber Rattlers in the coming days after tossing six innings at Double-A Biloxi on Wednesday.

Davies (shoulder) was optioned to Low-A Wisconsin on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Davies' rehab clock ran out after his strong outing Wednesday at Double-A Biloxi, so the Brewers will send him to Low-A for the time being. He still figures to be a part of the big league roster down the stretch, but it's unclear when exactly that might be. Davies has been hindered by a shoulder issue for much of the summer, as he's only made eight starts all season and hasn't been on a big league mound since May 29.

Davies (shoulder) worked six innings Wednesday in his rehab start for Double-A Biloxi and gave up one run on two hits and one walk while striking out nine.
EDGE Analysis
Making the sixth start of his current rehab assignment, Davies looked sharp while working longer than he had in any of his previous five outings. With Davies covering 90 pitches in the appearance, it appears he has built up to a starter's workload and could be ready to make his next turn with the big club. The Brewers have yet to officially announce their plans for Davies, who may not be guaranteed a rotation spot once he's reinstated to the active roster.

Davies (shoulder) will start Wednesday for Double-A Biloxi, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies has been on the disabled list since June 1 due to right rotator cuff inflammation, and he's suffered multiple setbacks during his recovery process. He made his last minor-league start at Triple-A Colorado Springs, and he's set to take the hill for one last appearance before the Brewers make a decision on whether to activate Davies from the disabled list.

Davies (shoulder) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies has been on the shelf since the start of June. He owns a 6.14 ERA across 14.2 innings in his previous four minor-league rehab starts. Manager Craig Counsell said "we'll have to make a decision" after Davies' upcoming start, suggesting the right-hander could rejoin the Brewers' rotation if all goes well Thursday.

Davies (shoulder) will make at least one more minor-league rehab start, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Craig Counsell indicated Davies could have several more rehab starts as the team tests the shoulder that has experienced multiple setbacks during rehab. The 25-year-old's next rehab out will be at Triple-A Colorado springs, probably later this week or next weekend.

Davies (shoulder) threw 86 pitches over five innings during Saturday's rehab start with Double-A Biloxi, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears to be the final rehab assignment for Davies, who expects to rejoin the Brewers during their two-game set in Chicago this week. The 25-year-old could seemingly rejoin the starting rotation next weekend, and with two off days this week the Brewers' rotation could look a bit different for the near future.

Davies (shoulder) will make a rehab start for Double-A Biloxi on Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This could very well be his last rehab start after throwing 79 pitches across 4.2 innings with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday. Davies said Friday that he will rejoin the big-league club in Chicago during the team's two-game set next week, but remained uncertain as to whether he will require another rehab start following Saturday's outing. If it's determined that he won't need any more minor-league tune-ups, Davies may be back in Milwaukee's rotation next weekend.

Davies (shoulder) threw 79 pitches over 4.2 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Davies took another step in his rehab Monday, throwing 26 more pitches than he did his previous time out and allowing just one earned run. He is expected to make at least one more rehab start, but could be ready to rejoin the Brewers' rotation as soon as the middle of August.
