Receiving afternoon off Davis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Though he looks like the Pirates' new No. 1 catcher after Endy Rodriguez (glute) was placed on the injured list Wednesday, Davis will get a breather Thursday while Pittsburgh closes out its series against Atlanta with a day game after a night game. Rafael Flores will step in behind the dish and will bat eighth.

Stepping in as No. 1 catcher Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Davis had already started behind the plate in two of the Pirates' previous three games, but Endy Rodriguez's (glute) move to the 10-day injured list Wednesday will clear the way for the former to serve as the team's primary backstop through the All-Star break. For the season, Davis is slashing an abysmal .155/.250/.323 slash line, but he's been much better since the beginning of June with a .758 OPS over 17 games.

Getting third start in four games Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Davis will claim his third start in four games after going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two additional runs in his previous three contests. He looks to have worked his way into a timeshare at catcher with Endy Rodriguez, who has been the far better performer of the two backstops through the halfway point of the season.

Impact Davis gave the Pirates a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning with his slam, which was his third homer over his last seven contests. While he's shown a bit of power recently, he has gone just 4-for-24 (.167) with eight strikeouts during that span. The catcher has lost some time to Endy Rodriguez amid his season-long struggles. Davis is batting a mere .143 with a .533 OPS, five homers, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored, one stolen base and three doubles over 135 plate appearances. Expect Davis and Rodriguez to continue to operate in a timeshare.
