Davis last played in the majors in 2016. Over parts of seven seasons, spent with the Mets, Pirates, Athletics and Yankees, the first baseman hit .239/.332/.414 with 81 homers. Still just 31 years old, Davis had attempted a transition to the mound in the Arizona League in 2017 but was ultimately unable to work his way back to the big leagues on either side of the ball.

The Mets looked like they had a long-term solution at first base after Davis crushed 32 home runs for New York as a 25-year-old in 2012, but a subsequent downturn in his power production coupled with injuries and an inability to solve left-handed pitching ultimately stunted his development. After bouncing around six different organizations the last four seasons and showing little improvement with his hitting with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate at Oklahoma City in 2017, the now-30-year-old Davis decided to try his hand at pitching again after having previously served as a closer for Arizona State during his amateur career. The early returns from the mound have been encouraging for Davis, who has pitching in his bloodlines -- his father, Ron, was a reliever for 11 years in the big leagues. The lefty still has a long way to go before surfacing again in the majors, but given his existing familiarity with pitching from his college days, Davis' learning curve may be shorter than what most position-players-turned-pitchers experience.

Davis was once a promising power hitting prospect for the Mets but his days as a fantasy contributor are likely long gone unless he finds his power stroke against right handed pitching again.

Davis, who hit 32 home runs for the Mets back in 2012, has struggled mightily in his past four seasons as he's played a total of 82 Major League games since 2014. He last played for the Yankees where he made 15 plate appearances in 2016. He is unlikely to make the Dodgers roster at any point this season but stranger things have happened. He'd have to really show the team's staff that he's recaptured his swing that he had back in the early 2010s with the Mets.
