The Mariners selected Davis' contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. Davis could have opted out of his minor-league contract, but the Mariners have elected to add the outfielder to their 40-man roster to prevent that from happening. The 26-year-old is sitting on a .281/.394/.548 batting line with eight home runs and a 20:38 BB:K over 38 contests with Tacoma this season. Davis has yet to appear in a major-league game.
Davis is slashing .286/.401/.571 with eight home runs, a 12.9 percent walk rate and a 23.8 percent strikeout rate in 34 games for Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old outfielder had an impressive spring training before suffering a hamstring injury in mid March. He has missed extensive time over the years, sapping much of his speed and athleticism, but Davis has developed into one of the most feared sluggers at Triple-A. He boasts a 51.7 percent Statcast hard-hit rate, a 144 wRC+ and .286 ISO while upping his contact rate from 66.7 percent at Triple-A last year to 71.6 percent this year.
Davis was removed from Satuday's Cactus League game against the Angels due to left hamstring tightness, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports. Davis appeared to sustain the injury on a swing during his lone at-bat in the second inning, which prompted his removal from the game. He'll undergo additional tests to determine the severity of the injury, and while he was a longshot to make the Mariners' Opening Day roster, it does put Davis' availability for the start of the 2026 season in jeopardy.
