Impact It's a big step for Davis as he works his way back from right meniscus surgery which he underwent in early July. The speedy outfielder won't make it back before the end of the season but hopefully should be able to have a relatively normal offseason.

Shifted to 60-day IL Davis (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The move clears a spot for Johnny Cueto's return from the 60-day IL. Davis underwent right meniscus surgery last week and there's a good chance his season is over.

To miss 3-to-6 months Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday that Davis (knee) will be sidelined 3-to-6 months, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis underwent surgery Thursday after damaging his right meniscus while trying to make a diving catch Tuesday against the Cardinals. He had been in line for regular starts in center field with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) landing back on the injured list Monday, but Davis can now probably be ruled out until at least mid-September. The 31-year-old was slashing .244/.307/.378 with two home runs and one stolen base through 34 major-league games this season.

Requires surgery An MRI revealed a meniscus injury in Davis' right knee, and he will undergo surgery Thursday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Davis doesn't have a torn meniscus, but his injury is apparently still severe enough to warrant surgery. The news effectively puts an early end to Davis' season, and he will close 2023 with a .244/.307/.378 slash line alongside two homers and 10 RBI through 103 plate appearances.

Marlins place center fielder Jonathan Davis on IL with right knee sprain

The Miami Marlins placed center fielder Jonathan Davis on the injured list with a right knee sprain a day after he was carted off the field in a win over the St. Louis Cardinals

JULY 5, 2023 • Associated Press

Lands on IL with sprained knee Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right knee sprain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis had been set to undergo an MRI and given the sprain diagnosis that test evidently revealed some damage. It's unclear at this point as to the severity. Garrett Hampson is taking Davis' spot on the roster and Dane Myers is in center field Wednesday.

Sitting out Wednesday Davis (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Though X-rays returned negative on Davis' right knee after he exited Tuesday's 15-2 win, he'll get at least one day off to tend to the injury. Dane Myers will step in as the Marlins' starting center fielder in place of Davis, who is expected to play regularly when healthy with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

X-rays negative on knee X-rays came back negative on Davis' right knee following his departure from Tuesday's win over the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis had to be carted off the field after falling hard on a diving catch attempt in the top of the fifth inning, but it sounds like it was just a scare. The 31-year-old is poised for regular starts in center field, if his health cooperates, with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) now back on the injured list. Davis is currently considered day-to-day with a right knee contusion.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with knee contusion Davis was diagnosed with a right knee contusion after leaving Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact That's just the initial diagnosis, however, and there should be more clarity on the full scope of the injury once Davis undergoes further testing. X-rays are planned and he might also be sent for an MRI. Davis banged his knee hard into the outfield turf Tuesday afternoon in Miami while trying to make a diving catch on a Tommy Edman line drive. He had to be carted off the field.

Marlins center fielder Davis is carted off the field with bruised right knee

Marlins center fielder Jonathan Davis was carted off the field after bruising his right knee during Miami’s win over the St. Louis Cardinals

JULY 4, 2023 • Associated Press

Exits with apparent injury Davis was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Cardinals due to an apparent knee injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis had to be carted off the field after landing hard on the turf at loanDepot park while trying to make a diving catch on a Tommy Edman line drive in the top of the fifth inning. It looked like his right knee took the brunt of the fall. Dane Myers entered the game for the Marlins in center field.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Taking back over in center field Davis is expected to be the Marlins' primary center fielder while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is sidelined, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis had emerged as the club's regular center fielder while Chisholm missed time with turf toe and now will get that role back as Chisholm goes down with another injury. The 31-year-old is manning center field and batting ninth Monday versus the Cardinals.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back into reserve role Davis will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Though he'll be included in the starting nine for the series finale, Davis was on the bench for each of the past three contests and looks to have moved into a fourth-outfielder role. With Jazz Chisholm having recently returned from the injured list, he'll be flanked in the outfield by Jesus Sanchez and Bryan De La Cruz more often than not.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pops second homer Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Impact The 31-year-old outfielder connected on his second homer of the year in the third inning off Jose Oviedo, giving Eury Perez and the Miami bullpen all the run support they would need in an eventual 2-0 victory. Davis is slashing .236/.290/.364 through 20 games in June while holding down the starting role in center field, but he should soon get bumped to the bench -- or even off the roster entirely -- when Jazz Chisholm (toe) makes his return.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Davis isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis had his four-game hitting streak snapped Friday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He'll get a day off Saturday while Jesus Sanchez moves to center field, Jorge Soler starts in right, Garrett Cooper serves as the DH and Yuli Gurriel starts at first base while batting sixth.

JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Davis is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Garrett Hampson will cover center field and bat eighth for the Marlins. Davis has reached base in five straight games, but his season OPS has fallen from .949 to .699 since the beginning of June.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Tuesday Davis isn't in the Marlins' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis has cooled off considerably after his hot start to the season, slashing just .185/.233/.296 over the past two weeks. While Davis sits Tuesday, Garrett Hampson will fill in as Miami's center fielder while batting ninth.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Wednesday Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis had started in center field in each of the previous four games, going 3-for-14 with three doubles, five RBI and four runs over that span. Garrett Hampson will fill in for Davis in center in the series finale.

Miami takes the lead over the Royals after Jon Berti's two-run triple and Jonathan Davis' RBI double

JUNE 5, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Gets third straight start in center Davis will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Davis will get his third straight start in center field after finishing the Marlins' weekend series with Oakland with a pair of doubles and two RBI. Though he appears to have supplanted Garrett Hampson as the Marlins' preferred option in center, both Davis and Hampson will likely see their opportunities dwindle when Jazz Chisholm (toe) likely returns from the injured list at some point this month.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes first bag Davis went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Padres.

Impact The 31-year-old journeyman scored the Marlins' only run in the third inning after leading off the frame by drawing a walk and stealing his first bag of 2023. Davis has plugged a hole in center field while Jazz Chisholm (toe) is on the shelf, but after going 6-for-7 at Coors Field in his first two games for Miami, he's managed only two hits in his last 19 at-bats.
