Davies was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies presumably sustained the injury Saturday during his last start, when he gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits with two strikeouts and one walk over five innings. It's unclear exactly how long the 29-year-old is expected to be sidelined, though he'll be eligible to return from the injured list July 11.

Davies allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts in five innings, taking a no-decision versus the Tigers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't really a good or bad start, instead treading the line of average for Davies as his winless run extended to eight starts. The right-hander has been fairly sharp in June, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) across 31.2 innings across five outings. Overall, he's at a 3.94 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 62:26 K:BB through 80 innings in 15 starts. Davies is projected for an unforgiving road start in Colorado next week.

Davies (2-4) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Davies was spotted a one-run lead before he took the mound, but he gave it back on a Jake Cronenworth solo home run. The right-hander was also tagged for a two-run single by Ha-Seong Kim in the second and a solo shot from Trent Grisham in the fifth. Davies has alternated dominance with middling performances in his last five outings, going 0-2 in that span. He now has a 3.96 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB through 75 innings across 14 starts overall. He's projected for a home start versus the Tigers this weekend.

Davies allowed six hits and struck out seven over seven shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Tuesday. He didn't walk a batter.
EDGE Analysis
This was Davies' third straight quality start, but he was outplayed by Reds starter Tyler Mahle (12 strikeouts in nine shutout innings). Despite allowing just three runs in his last 20.2 innings, Davies has taken no-decisions in all three starts in that span. The right-hander owns a 3.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 57:22 K:BB across 69 innings in 13 starts overall. He's in line for a road start versus the Padres next week.

Davies allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven across six innings Thursday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Davies allowed four hits prior to recording an out, which led to all three of his earned runs coming in the first inning. However, he retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced to turn in his second consecutive quality start. Davies has also seen an uptick in strikeouts in recent starts, tallying 18 punchouts across his last 19 frames. Overall, he has a 4.21 ERA with a 50:22 K:BB across 62 frames on the season.

Davies pitched 7.2 shutout innings Saturday versus the Pirates, allowing three hits and two walks with six strikeouts in a no-decision.
EDGE Analysis
Davies was excellent, throwing 62 of 101 pitches for strikes in easily his best start of the year. The Diamondbacks generated just one run of support, and that thin lead didn't stick when Mark Melancon blew the save in the ninth inning. Considering Davies had allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts, this is a step in the right direction. He's now at a 4.18 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB through 56 innings in 11 starts this year. The 29-year-old is expected to make his next start in Cincinnati next week.

Davies (2-3) took the loss during Sunday's 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Davies avoided major damage but served up a Will Smith solo shot in the second inning and two runs on three baserunners in the third to fall in line for the loss as Arizona's offense was dormant. The biggest takeaway is that the 29-year-old showed no ill effects of a lower-leg injury that put Sunday's start in question. After delivering consecutive scoreless outings to open May, Davies has allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts and will look to get back on track next weekend against Pittsburgh.

Davies (leg) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session Thursday, Jack Sommers of MLB.com reports, and the right-hander is scheduled to start Sunday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Davies left his most recent start during the fourth inning after taking a 112.4 mph liner to the leg off the bat of Bobby Witt Jr. According to the report, Thursday's bullpen session went well, and Davies will not miss a turn.

Davies left Monday's start against the Royals due to an apparent lower leg injury, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davies took a line drive off his lower leg and limped off the field with a trainer. Prior to the injury, he allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two across 3.2 innings. He will not factor into the decision, as the game was tied upon his exit. It's not clear whether Davies will be available for his next turn through the rotation.

Davies (2-1) earned the win during Friday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Davies pitched well aside from the third inning, when he surrendered all three runs on three hits, but Arizona clawed back from the early deficit to put the 29-year-old in line for the victory. Davies has been his typical solid yet unspectacular self this season, permitting no more than four earned runs in any of his seven starts, though a 4.27 FIP compared to a 3.57 ERA indicates he's been a bit lucky so far. He's scheduled to toe the rubber again next week against the Dodgers.
