"Davis landed in Minnesota back in July, coming over from the Dodgers in a cash swap after he'd been designated for assignment. The 2018 eleventh-rounder made four short relief appearances for the Twins and allowed multiple runs in all of them. He's been tagged for 22 runs in 11 innings between Minnesota and L.A. this season, further inflating the already unsightly 7.71 ERA he logged in parts of three seasons with the Rockies (51 1/3 innings)."
"Though Davis has been hit exceptionally hard in the majors, he has a more encouraging track record in the upper minors. He's pitched 176 2/3 innings in Triple-A, logging a 4.79 ERA despite most of his time being spent in an exorbitantly hitter-friendly setting (Colorado's Albuquerque club in the Pacific Coast League). Davis has pitched 43 1/3 innings between the Triple-A clubs for the Dodgers and Twins this year and turned in a solid 3.95 ERA with a strong 26.1% strikeout rate."
"The Twins announced Friday that they've passed right-hander through waivers and assigned him outright to Triple-A St. Paul. That'll be the corresponding roster move for Pablo Lopez's previously reported reinstatement from the 60-day injured list, which is now official. This is the second career outright for Davis - the Rockies outrighted him last September - which gives him the right to reject the assignment to Triple-A in favor of free agency, should he prefer to seek a change of scenery."
The Twins passed right-hander Davis through waivers and assigned him outright to Triple-A St. Paul as Pablo Lopez was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Davis arrived in Minnesota in July via a cash swap with the Dodgers after being designated for assignment. The 2018 eleventh-round pick made four short relief appearances for the Twins, allowing multiple runs in each, and has been charged with 22 runs in 11 major-league innings this season, producing a 7.71 MLB ERA. Davis has a stronger Triple-A history (176 2/3 innings, 4.79 ERA) and posted a 3.95 ERA with a 26.1% strikeout rate over 43 1/3 Triple-A innings this year. This is his second career outright, giving him the option to reject the assignment and elect free agency.
