Davies (shoulder) will need at least two more outings in the minor leagues prior to returning from the disabled list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies has been on the shelf since June 1 with right rotator cuff inflammation. The 25-year-old right-hander made his second start at Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday, and despite getting knocked around for five runs over 2.2 innings, he didn't suffer any further setbacks. He'll need to make it through two more rehab performances before the Brewers will consider activating him from the disabled list.

Davies (shoulder) made his second rehab start with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday, tossing 2.2 innings and striking out three while giving up five runs on four hits and three walks.
EDGE Analysis
Davies retired all seven batters he faced in first rehab appearance at Low-A Wisconsin four days earlier, but he unsurprisingly encountered more turbulence while facing higher-caliber competition at a hitter-friendly park in Reno. The poor outing shouldn't dramatically alter Davies' timeline for a return, as the Brewers' main priority is getting the right-hander's arm conditioned for a starter's workload. Davies, who has been on the shelf since June 1 with right rotator cuff inflammation, pushed his pitch count up to 53 on Wednesday and will likely need to reach the 75-to-90-pitch range in his subsequent minor-league outings before rejoining the big club.

Davies (shoulder) will make a rehab start with Low-A Wisconsin on Friday night.
EDGE Analysis
Things looked ominous for Davies when it was announced earlier this week he had suffered another setback in his recovery, but the latest issue was apparently nothing major. Davies won't be out of the woods health-wise until he rejoins the big-league roster, but assuming things go well Friday and moving forward, he could be back with the Brewers at some point in mid-August.

Davis (shoulder) is again having back issues, and he'll undergo an MRI in the near future, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies had been slated for three rehab starts, but they'll be put on hold after the 25-year-old once again felt discomfort in his back: his back has tightened up during previous throwing sessions in July. Davis has been on the disabled list with inflammation in his throwing shoulder since June 1, and the timetable for his return has become murky following his most recent setback, although more news should become available after the results of his MRI are determined.

Davies (shoulder) is scheduled to start Thursday for Low-A Wisconsin and then make a pair of starts for Triple-A Colorado Springs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies has been out since late May with a shoulder issue and has also suffered from back tightness. He got through a sim game Monday and now has a comprehensive rehab schedule on tap. Assuming that all three rehab starts come on the standard four days' rest, he could be lined up to return Aug. 10 in Atlanta.

Davies (shoulder, back) suffered another setback in his rehab Friday, as his back tightened up during a throwing session, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Craig Counsell acknowledged that the Brewers would need to take a more conservative approach with Davies' rehab, and at this point it seems possible that we may not see him back in a big-league game before August or even September. Brent Suter hit the disabled list with forearm tightness, so it seems that Milwaukee will really need to lean on their young starting pitchers in the short term before potentially adding reinforcements at the trade deadline.

Davies' (shoulder) rehab start Friday for Low-A Wisconsin was cut short due to a lower-back ailment, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He exited the start after 48 pitches, well short of the 80 pitches or seven innings the Brewers had planned for Davies to achieve in what could have been his final rehab start before rejoining the big-league rotation. After this setback, Davies is now without a clear timetable to resume his rehab assignment. This means Brent Suter and Freddy Peralta will stick in the big-league rotation for now.

Davies (shoulder) is on track to rejoin the Brewers' rotation next week, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
When asked Tuesday Davies said his shoulder feels "great," which provides optimism that he has moved past the soreness that has plagued him since early May. Davies is set to make one more rehab start Friday with Low-A Wisconsin, and as long as all goes well that day, he will take the bump for the Brewers around the middle of next week and likely bump Freddy Peralta from the rotation.

Davies (shoulder) threw 57 pitches over 4.1 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Davies tossed just 31 pitches and 1.2 innings in a rehab start with Colorado Springs on June 19, but he was able to up both numbers his second time out. Davies was expected to make at least three rehab starts before rejoining the Brewers, so look for an update on his status after he takes the ball again later this week.

Davies (shoulder) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies completed another successful bullpen session Saturday and is now on tap for at least three rehab starts. The Brewers seem to be exercising additional caution as the 25-year-old makes a return from rotator cuff inflammation for the second time, giving him a likely return date in early July if he avoids any setbacks.
