Impact The low-grade ankle sprain is considered a best-case scenario for Davis, who picked up what appeared to be a more serious injury in Tuesday's 11-3 win. The Giants are hoping that Davis shows enough improvement by the weekend to avoid a stint on the injured list, though he's certainly not out of the woods yet.

Records first steal Davis went 2-for-4 with two walks, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 14-4 win over the Pirates.
