Competing for playing time Davis is doing everything he can during camp to earn a spot in the Giants' outfield to begin the 2020 season, Alex Pavlovic of NBCSports.com reports..

Impact Davis could benefit from the universal DH since outfielders like Hunter Pence and Alex Dickerson could soak up many of those opportunities. This opens the door for the 26-year-old who hit 35 home runs across Double-A and Triple-A last season, slashing a combined .306/.397/.590 in 541 minor-league plate appearances. Davis has the ability to play both left field and center field.

Impact Pence was dealing with foot soreness late in the week but felt better Friday. However, he still underwent an MRI that revealed inflammation. The outfielder isn't expected to resume running over the weekend, but continue to work on hitting. The 37-year-old is a leading candidate to serve as the Giants' designated hitter if he's healthy once the regular season begins.

Impact Manager Gabe Kapler said it was a precautionary measure and expects the 37-year-old to resume running in the near future. Pence is a likely beneficiary of the universal designated hitter, especially since he missed significant time over the past two seasons.
