Out with sprained hand Davis landed on the injured list Sunday with a left hand sprain, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact An injury at this point in the season ends Davis' campaign, as there are just eight days remaining on the schedule. Injuries limited him to just 73 games this year, but he produced when available, finishing the year with a .285/.384/.436 slash line. He only cleared the fence five times, however, and his 32.2 percent strikeout rate and .426 BABIP indicate he's unlikely to sustain a similar batting average going forward unless he starts making more contact. Sean Reid-Foley was activated to take his place on the roster.

Stuck in reserve role Davis remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact With only two starts since the beginning of September, Davis is clearly behind Jonathan Villar in the pecking order at third base. Even if the Mets were to lose another everyday player to an injury, Davis won't necessarily be the next man up to crack the regular lineup. Dominic Smith has also faded into a reserve role this month, with Jeff McNeil taking over as the Mets' primary option in left field.

Back to bench Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Impact After starting at third base in each of the past 14 games while slashing .313/.386/.458, Davis will head to the bench for the first time since Aug. 8. Jonathan Villar will get the nod at the hot corner Wednesday, but both he and Davis are expected to move into part-time roles moving forward now that Francisco Lindor and Javier Baez are healthy again. The Mets are expected to roll out an infield of Pete Alonso, Baez, Lindor and Jeff McNeil against right-handed pitching more often than not.

Brings home four runs Davis went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs, four RBI, a walk and HBP in the Mets' 7-2 win over the Dodgers on Sunday.
Impact Davis singled home a run and scored in the first inning, was hit by a pitch in the sixth, cranked a two-run homer in the seventh and walked with the bases loaded in the ninth. The third baseman has enjoyed a hot August, slashing .300/.405/.433, though the long ball was only his first of the month. Davis is making the case for regular playing time even once Francisco Lindor returns but he'll have to compete with Javier Baez, Jeff McNeil and Jonathan Villar in a crowded infield.

Records first stolen base Davis went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact The third baseman recorded his first steal of the year and just his fifth in five major-league seasons. Davis is far from a speed threat, and he's been only modestly productive when healthy this year. The 28-year-old has a .293/.384/.450 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI, 15 runs scored and 10 doubles through 164 plate appearances. He's started regularly at third base with Javier Baez (back) and Francisco Lindor (oblique) out, but both could be activated as soon as Sunday. That likely would lead to Jonathan Villar and Jeff McNeil challenging Davis for playing time going forward as the Mets' lineup gets more crowded.

Leads rally with two hits Davis went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, one run and one RBI in the Mets' 8-7 win over the Nationals, which was a resumption of Tuesday's suspended game.
Impact Davis didn't record an at-bat Tuesday before the game was suspended in the second inning, but he helped the Mets overcome a three-run deficit with his two extra-base knocks. He'll be rewarded with a start at the hot corner Thursday in the first game of a doubleheader with Washington.

Losing work to Villar at 3B Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Impact On the bench for the third time in five games, Davis appeared to have slipped behind Jonathan Villar on the depth chart at third base. Both players are expected to lose out on reps when Francisco Lindor (oblique) comes off the injured list, as Javier Baez is expected to move over to the hot corner once Lindor returns.
