Serving as primary backstop Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Tigers.

Impact With fellow backstop Endy Rodriguez (hip) recently returning to the injured list, Davis has re-emerged as the Pirates' top option behind the dish. He'll pick up his seventh start in nine games while the Pirates open up a three-game set versus the Tigers. Davis is slashing just .143/.219/.143 with no extra-base hits, two RBI and two runs since the start of August, so he's not doing much to take advantage of his larger share of playing time.

Impact Davis will be making his fourth straight start behind the dish while Endy Rodriguez continues to miss time while nursing a hip injury.

Bound for bench Sunday Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Davis had started behind the plate in the previous two games, but he'll likely see his playing time take a hit after the Pirates recently brought back Endy Rodriguez and Spencer Horwitz from the injured list. Horwitz should settle back in as the Pirates' everyday first baseman, which leaves fewer reps available at the position for Rodriguez, who could end up seeing the bulk of the starts behind the plate as a result.
