"Once a consensus top-20 prospect in baseball, the 26-year-old Davis has yet to make his MLB debut. A second-round pick by the Cubs back in 2018, Davis broke out at the age of 19 in 2019 with a with a .305/.381/.525 slash line in 50 games at the Single-A level. Following the cancelled minor league season in 2020, Davis got the bump to High-A to start the 2021 season but lasted just eight games at the level before being promoted to Double-A."
"After hitting a solid .252/.367/.474 for the Cubs' Tennessee affiliate in 76 games, Davis got his second promotion of the year with a late-season cup of coffee at Triple-A, where he impressed with a .268/.397/.536 slash line in 16 games. All of that was enough to position Davis as one of the game's most exciting prospects, and he seemed poised to make his MLB debut during the 2022 season."
"Unfortunately for Davis, however, those dreams of an early debut were scuttled when he struggled badly in the early weeks of the season before undergoing back surgery in early May of that year. While he returned before the end of the year from that surgery and posted solid on-base numbers, a lack of power kept him from earning a coveted September call-up."
Brennen Davis, a 26-year-old outfielder, signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees and received an invite to MLB Spring Training. A second-round pick by the Cubs in 2018, Davis broke out in 2019 with a .305/.381/.525 slash line in 50 Single-A games. The 2020 minor-league season was cancelled; Davis began 2021 in High-A, reached Double-A, and hit .252/.367/.474 in 76 games before a strong 16-game showing at Triple-A. Davis missed significant time in 2022 after early-season struggles and back surgery, returned but lacked power for a September call-up. Continued injuries, including core surgery and a fractured ankle, produced mixed Triple-A results and led to his non-tender last November.
