Impact Davis hit his sixth homer of the season in the fifth inning, which also marked his first extra-base hit since being activated from the injured list Sept. 16. In five games since his return, he has a 65 percent strikeout rate with only one walk and three hits in 19 at-bats. He remains a near-everyday player in the Pittsburgh lineup, though he's most recently hit seventh or eighth.

Activated from IL The Pirates reinstated Davis (hand) from the injured list Friday.

Impact A strained right hand forced Davis onto the injured list Aug. 21, and he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday. Davis impressively went 8-for-13 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored across four games during his assignment, so he'll be swinging a hot bat as he slides back in as Pittsburgh's primary right fielder. Vinny Capra was optioned to Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Rehabbing in Indy Davis (hand) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact A right hand strain forced Davis onto the 10-day injured list Aug. 23, and he's now set to begin the final stage of his recovery process. The Pirates haven't indicated how long Davis will remain in the minors, but he will almost certainly make it back before the end of the season.

Nearing rehab assignment Davis (hand) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Davis resumed taking batting practice last week and has apparently progressed without issue. On the shelf since Aug. 23 due to a strained right hand, the 23-year-old catcher and corner outfielder should be able to fit in a few more weeks of major-league games with the Pirates before the 2023 season comes to an end.

Takes batting practice Davis (hand) participated in batting practice and did defensive work ahead of Saturday's game against the Cardinals, MLB.com reports.

Impact This marked the first time that Davis took part in batting practice since he was placed on the injured list Aug. 23. There's no clear timeline for his return to the field, though Davis is expected to play again prior to the close of the campaign.

Battling hand injury Davis' placement on the 10-day injured list Monday was the result of a right hand strain, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Pirates called up utility man Vinny Capra to take Davis' spot on the 26-man active roster, but Josh Palacios looks like the top candidate to serve as Davis' primary replacement in right field while he's on the shelf. According to the report, Davis' soreness is concentrated around his right thumb, and the injury has apparently been something that has lingered for a while. The hand issue likely at least partially explains why Davis had batted just .158 with a .492 OPS in August before hitting the shelf.

Hits 10-day injured list Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact The Pirates did not announce why Davis landed on the injured list, but regardless he will be unavailable for the next 10 days. Josh Palacios will start in place of Davis on Monday night and is the favorite to be Pittsburg's regular right fielder until Davis is ready to return.

On bench again Monday Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Davis will head to the bench for the second time in three days after going 0-for-12 with five strikeouts in his last three starts. Josh Palacios will pick up the start in right field in Davis' stead, but the 23-year-old rookie doesn't appear in imminent danger of losing out on a near-everyday role in the Pittsburgh outfield.

Sitting Saturday Davis isn't starting Saturday versus Pittsburgh, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Davis is 0-for-10 across his last three games, so he'll take a day to recollect himself Saturday. Josh Palacios (illness) will return to take Davis' place in right field and bat fifth.

Takes seat Tuesday Davis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Josh Palacios has been getting run atop the batting order and will receive another start in the leadoff spot Tuesday, this time at Davis' expense in right field. This snaps a streak of six consecutive starts for Davis, who sits with a .672 OPS, five homers and three steals through 41 career games.

Snaps out of slump Davis went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Friday against the Brewers.

Impact Davis entered the game having collected only two hits across his last 38 at-bats, though he snapped that stretch with a two-run blast in the second inning. His .232 average is underwhelming, but Davis' underlying numbers suggest he hasn't been overmatched in the majors as he's struck out at only a 20.9 percent clip while maintaining a .152 ISO across 158 plate appearances. He should continue to start the majority of the team's games in right field, and he has fluctuated between batting fourth and fifth in the order of late.

Takes Ohtani deep twice Davis went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Angels.

Impact Davis made his presence felt despite the poor result for the Pirates, taking Shohei Ohtani deep in the fourth and sixth innings. He's the first player to homer twice in the same game off Ohtani, per MLB. Davis doubled his homer count for the season to four, and he's added 11 RBI, 16 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .295/.391/.463 slash line over his first 110 plate appearances. He continues to play regularly in right field despite coming up through the Pirates' system as a catcher.
