Davis is out of Friday's lineup against the Orioles.

Davis will sit for a third straight contest Friday. While Thursday's absence could be contributed to a southpaw on the mound, The A's faced a righty Wednesday and will again Friday, which could indicate a playing time shift at first base. Mark Canha will once again receive the start there Friday, batting second for the Athletics.

Davis is out of the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Davis will give way to Mark Canha at first base, as he'll be rested against left-handed starter Mark Buehrle. The 28-year-old Davis is batting just .200 in the month of August, and hasn't homered since all the way back on June 30.

Davis, who was initially out of Wednesday's lineup, was a late addition after Coco Crisp was scratched.

Davis was set to sit with the left-handed Wei-Yin Chen toeing the rubber for the Orioles, but he'll now get a chance to face the southpaw. Mark Canha will slide over to left field to replace Crisp, while Davis enters the lineup at first base, batting eighth.

Davis is out of the lineup Friday against San Francisco.

With Oakland playing in an NL park this weekend, the A's will use Stephen Vogt behind the plate and Billy Butler at first base instead of using Davis in either of those spots. It's unclear at this point if or when Davis will draw into the lineup while the A's are in San Francisco.

Davis is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Per usual, Davis will be held out of the lineup against a left-handed pitcher. Stephen Vogt will get the start at first base, with Josh Phegley suiting up behind the plate.

Davis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.

Unsurprisingly, Davis will find himself on the bench with a lefty in former Oakland starter Tommy Milone on the mound for the Twins. Mark Canha will step in at first base Sunday and should continue to handle the short side of the platoon duties at the position during the second half.

Davis is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

Davis routinely sits against left-handed pitching, so it's not a big surprise that he'll sit against southpaw CC Sabathia on Wednesday. Stephen Vogt will come out from behind the plate to replace him at first base, while Josh Phegley will start behind the dish.

Davis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

As has been the case often this season, Davis will sit with a left-hander on the mound in Mike Montgomery. Davis is just 2-for-12 against southpaws this season.

Davis is not in the starting lineup Friday against Seattle left-hander J.A. Happ.

Davis will rarely start against left-handed pitching, while the A's are using Stephen Vogt at first base while Davis is on the bench Friday.

Davis is out of the lineup Tuesday against Colorado.

Davis connected on his third home run of the season Monday, but will take a seat Tuesday with lefty Jorge De La Rosa on the mound for the Rockies. Stephen Vogt will slide over to first base Tuesday.

Davis was 2-for-4 on Monday night and hit his third homer.

The homer was the first for Davis in Oakland this year and also his first since returning from the DL 10 days ago. Now healthy, Davis will be the A's first baseman in almost every game when they face a right-handed pitcher and could be a nice play in daily leagues (or full-season leagues with daily moves) at a very cheap price on those days.

Davis is back in the lineup Thursday, batting seventh against Texas.

Davis sat out of Wednesday's game as the Rangers had lefty Wandy Rodriguez on the mound. He'll return to his spot at first base for Thursday's series finale and face right-hander Colby Lewis. Davis is batting .280 with two home runs against righties this season.

Davis is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers.

Davis had played in every game since being activated from the DL on Friday, going 3-for-14 in that span, but will get the night off Wednesday against lefty Wandy Rodriguez. The A's will slide Stephen Vogt over to first base and use Billy Butler as the DH. Davis could return to the lineup Thursday when the A's face right-hander Colby Lewis.

Davis (quadriceps) was activated from the DL on Friday and will get the start at first base while hitting sixth against the Angels.

Davis has been out for more than a month with the quad injury, but now that he is healthy he should start to see somewhat regular starts at first base for the A's. Mark Canha and Stephen Vogt will also probably remain in the mix occasionally starting at first base, but Davis should play enough to be useful in mid-to-deeper sized leagues.

Davis (quad) could be activated as early as Friday, John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Davis has been rehabbing at Triple-A Nashville, where he played Wednesday night. The A's have not yet made an official decision on when he'll join the team, but it sounds like there's a decent chance he could be recalled efore Friday's game against the Angels.

Davis (quadriceps) will play another game at Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday before going to Oakland where the Athletics will decide whether or not to activate him, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.

Wednesday was the early target date for Davis' return to the Athletics, but owners will have to wait at least another day for his activation from the disabled list. The decision on Davis' possible activation should come down before the end of the weekend.

Davis (quadriceps) will not be activated from the DL on Wednesday.

Wednesday seemed to be the tentative target date for Davis, but it seems the A's decided he could use a rest day after playing in back-to-back rehab games with Triple-A Nashville to start the week. The 28-year-old has played in four rehab games overall, going 4-for-16 with a double, three RBI and four strikeouts, after missing a month due to a Grade 2 quad strain. Davis figures to supplant Mark Canha as the primary option at first base upon activation.

Davis (quadriceps) is expected to come off the disabled list Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Friday and has batted 2-for-7 with a double over his first two games.

Mark Canha and Max Muncy have seen the majority of duties at the position while Davis has been out.
