Davies was optioned to minor league camp Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Davies made six appearances at the major league level in 2015, going 3-2 with a 3.71 ERA across 34.0 innings. As expected, he'll open the year at Triple-A Colorado Springs, but he could be in line to grab a rotation spot in the event of an injury later in the season.

Davies has allowed just one earned run while posting a 6:0 K:BB ratio in six innings over three appearances this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Davies has allowed just four total runners to reach base all spring, and he has pounded the strike zone, throwing 38 of his 42 pitches for strikes. Despite his excellent spring numbers, he will presumably open the season with Triple-A Colorado Springs, as all five starters ahead of him on the depth chart are essentially locks for the Brewers' rotation if healthy. Consider Davies next in line, however, if the team needs to replace a member of the rotation either during the regular season or before.

Davies (3-2) was great on Wednesday, striking out six batters across seven scoreless innings while allowing five hits and two walks in a win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
That is now two straight shutouts for the 22-year-old and he's building some nice momentum going next next season. With the Brewers rotation falling apart this year, it appears they'll give Davies serious consideration for next year, especially with his sparkling form at the end of this season.

Davies (2-2) tossed six shutout innings in Wednesday's win over the Cubs, giving up just two hits and a walk while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Of the five starts Davies has made in the majors, this may have been the best. Still, he's generally shown uneven control in his first taste of the big show, making Davies an unreliable option down the stretch.

Davies (1-2) allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings in Friday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Davies notched his second quality start in four big-league outings, but has been a poor overall. The young right-hander has posted a 6.00 ERA in his four starts, largely due to an abysmal 5.14 BB/9 rate.

Davies (1-0) notched his first career win Monday, giving up just one earned run on four hits while walking none and striking out four over seven innings in a 9-1 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Davies impressed in his second major league start, escaping a bases loaded fifth inning jam with just one run allowed. Acquired at the trade deadline for Gerardo Parra, Davies posted an uninspiring 7.2 K/9 in 128 Triple-A innings this season. The 22-year-old has safely claimed a rotation spot through September, but will require additional big league experience before he obtains significant fantasy value.

Davies struggled in his MLB debut Wednesday, giving up four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in 4.1 innings against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old has struggled to miss bats and avoid walks in the minors this year, and he doesn't offer much fantasy upside even if he remains in the rotation for the fourth-place Brewers.

Davies, 22, has a 3.03 ERA and 32:14 K:BB ratio through 38.2 innings for Triple-A Norfolk.
What Davies lacks in size he more than makes up for in the ability to make his pitches. He had a 3.35 ERA and 109:32 K:BB ratio in 110 innings last season at Double-A Bowie. While not overpowering, Davies does induce a bevy of ground balls. In 2015, he has a 1.63 GO:AO ratio.
