The New York Mets have placed third baseman JAPRIL 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Impact Davis was hit by a pitch on his left hand Tuesday, and his X-rays were negative. However, he'll still require additional time on the shelf to fully recover. Jonathan Villar and Luis Guillorme should fill in at third base in his absence. Jose Peraza's contract was selected by the Mets in a corresponding move.

Follow-up X-rays also negative Additional X-rays on Davis' left wrist were negative, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Initial X-rays were negative, but the Mets wanted to be sure there was nothing broken after Davis was hit by a pitch on the left hand Tuesday. He has been cleared of a serious injury and is considered day-to-day. Luis Guillorme is filling in at third base Wednesday.

More X-rays coming Mets manager Luis Rojas said Davis will undergo additional X-rays on his bruised left hand Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Though the initial X-rays Davis underwent Tuesday revealed no structural damage, he apparently had too much inflammation on his hand for the scans to get a clear image. Davis will sit out Wednesday's game in Philadelphia, but the Mets are still viewing him as day-to-day heading into this weekend's series with Miami.

Sitting Wednesday Davis (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Davis was able to avoid any structural damage to his left hand after getting struck by a pitch in Tuesday's win, but the Mets will give him the series finale off while he's presumably still managing some soreness. Luis Guillorme will check in for Davis at third base in what amounts to an upgrade in the field but a downgrade at the plate.

Hasn't found power stroke yet Davis has gone 5-for-22 (.227) through 10 Grapefruit League games and has yet to collect an extra-base hit.
Impact His 8:4 BB:K is impressive, but otherwise Davis hasn't quite gotten his swing in sync this spring. The 27-year-old is still expected to open the season as the Mets' starting third baseman, but he'll need to supply something closer to his 2019 OPS of .896, rather than the tepid .760 mark he managed last year, to hang onto the job.

Looking for 2019 form Davis worked with Mets hitting coach Chili Davis over the offseason to correct some issues in his swing, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Coach Davis felt that the 27-year-old become too "rotational" last summer, relying more on his torso than his hands to generate bat speed. The team can live with his defensive limitations now that Francisco Lindor is patrolling shortstop, so if third baseman Davis can regain the form that produced a .307/.369/.527 slash line in 2019, he will lock down the starting job at the hot corner for the Mets, as well as become a huge bargain at his current ADP.
