Davis has been jettisoned from the Angels’ roster after batting .111 (1-for-9) in five games. The 32-year-old veteran figures to clear waivers and elect free agency in search of a new opportunity.

Davis has gone 11-for-37 (.297) with two home runs, six runs, and 11 RBI in 10 games so far this season in the PCL. He will simply be a backup at both third and first base while Yoan Moncada is on the injured list with a thumb sprain. LHP Jack Dashwood was designated for assignment to open up a 40-man roster spot for Davis.

Coming off a rough 2024 in which he hit .218/.293/.338 in 157 plate appearances, Davis will be a fallback option at third and first for the Angels. The 31-year-old is a lifetime .257/.340/.425 hitter, and while he could get back to that, his defense at third is an increasing problem, making him a fringe major leaguer.

Davis suited up for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, so it’s a minor league deal for the 31-year-old veteran, who could wind up being an option for Baltimore at the hot corner in the near future, but only if top prospect Coby Mayo can’t get it going. He was released last week by the Yankees after batting .105 (2-for-19) in seven games for the Pinstripes.
