Takes loss in ninth inning Davis (0-1) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against Cleveland after giving up a solo home run in the ninth inning while fanning three.

Impact Davis allowed a solo home run to Josh Naylor in the top of the ninth, and that would prove the difference in the game. The veteran reliever bounced back and struck out the next three batters he faced -- Harold Ramirez, Andres Gimenez and Austin Hedges -- though the damage was already done. Davis has been struggling badly of late, and he has given up runs in five of his last seven appearances.

Struggles persist Friday Davis allowed four runs on two hits and three walks in one inning during Friday's 9-1 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Kansas City trailed 5-1 when Davis entered, and his pitching didn't do anything to help the cause. He's allowed at least a run in five of his nine outings, although Friday's was by far the worst this season. The veteran right-hander has an 8.31 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 8.2 innings. He's recorded one save and one hold.

Sloppy in non-save situation Davis allowed a run on two hits and a walk and struck out two over one inning in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rays.

Impact Davis entered the game with the Royals down 3-0, and he allowed them to scrape together one more run. The 35-year-old righty has a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB with a save and a hold in seven appearances spanning 6.2 innings. Greg Holland remains more likely to see save chances than Davis at this point of the season.

Shaky effort for hold Davis allowed a run on two hits over two-thirds of an inning to record a hold in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

Impact Davis entered in the eighth inning and got into trouble. He gave up two singles and a fielder's choice before throwing a wild pitch to put two runners in scoring position. Davis also allowed a sacrifice fly to Kurt Suzuki before Greg Holland entered the game and locked down a four-out save for the Royals. Davis now carries a 4.15 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, a save, a hold and three strikeouts on his line. A favorite for save opportunities among Davis, Holland or Scott Barlow has yet to emerge.

Relieves Holland, gets save Davis recorded an Opening Day save Thursday against the Rangers, striking out both batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact The veteran right-hander was called upon in the ninth to protect a four-run lead after Greg Holland allowed a run and left the game with two on and one out. Davis easily finished things off to pick up his first save of the season. The 35-year-old joined the Royals on a minor-league deal this offseason and soon secured a spot on the Opening Day roster thanks to strong play in spring action. While Davis has plenty of experience as a closer, he was expected to work mostly in a setup role to begin the season. Holland's struggles have opened the door, though it'll likely take more than one bad outing for him to lose the job.

Designated for assignment Davis was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Saturday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis allowed five runs while recording just five outs in his two appearances since returning from a shoulder injury. That was evidently the last straw for the Rockies, who are finally finished with the man they paid $52 million over the last three seasons. Davis did give the Rockies a decent enough season in 2018, saving 43 games with a respectable 4.13 ERA, but his overall tenure in Colorado includes a 6.49 ERA and an unimpressive combination of a 25.0 percent strikeout rate and an 11.8 percent walk rate. It would be quite a surprise to see a team claim him off waivers.

Likely bound for middle relief Manager Bud Black said he expects to use Davis (shoulder) as a middle reliever initially following the 35-year-old's reinstatement from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Thomas Har...

Impact Black didn't specify whether Davis would merely make an appearance or two in middle relief before getting work in higher-leverage spots, but with only two weeks left in the regular season, the veteran likely wouldn't have enough time to re-establish himself as Colorado's closer anyway. Even before he was moved to the IL on Aug. 2 with a right shoulder strain, Davis had a tenuous grasp on the closing gig after a disastrous 2019 campaign in which he posted an 8.65 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in 50 appearances. Daniel Bard has gone a perfect 6-for-6 in save chances while bringing stability to the back end of the Colorado bullpen, so he'll likely continue to garner most of the closing opportunities even with Davis back in the fold.

Impact Diaz was already the leading candidate to take the closing role, with both Wade Davis and Scott Oberg on the IL. Carlos Estevez began the ninth inning, but first entered the game with two outs in the eighth and the score 9-2, and promptly allowed a bases clearing triple, so this wasn't a save situation for Estevez. The contrast in results bodes well for Diaz.

Out with shoulder strain Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain.

Impact Davis was charged with the loss and the blown save after allowing four runs to the Padres on Friday, which is apparently when he sustained the shoulder strain. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though the veteran right-hander should be eligible to be activated Aug. 11. Jairo Diaz or Carlos Estevez are likely options to fill in at closer for the Rockies.

Impact Davis gave up homers to Fernando Tatis and Tommy Pham, and his struggles allowed the Padres to mount the comeback in the top of the ninth. Davis has now allowed five earned runs across 2.2 innings, but he notched the save in both of his previous two appearances so this woeful performances shouldn't change his status as the Rockies' closer -- at least for now.
