Impact Davis will remain on the bench Monday as he continues to recover from a low-grade ankle sprain, but considering he's been available off the bench the last two games, he's seemingly on the cusp of returning to the lineup. David Villar will draw the start at third base and bat ninth in the series opener with San Diego.

Held out of Sunday's lineup Davis (ankle) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Davis hasn't been in San Francisco's starting nine since Tuesday due to a low-grade ankle sprain, though he came off the bench Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and an additional RBI.

Delivers off bench Davis (ankle) went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Davis didn't start due his ongoing absence with an ankle sprain, and he replaced Joc Pederson as the designated hitter when he entered. Davis' first contribution was a grand slam in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI single for the Giants' last run.

Nursing low-grade ankle sprain Davis confirmed after Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Cardinals that he's dealing with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain, which he suspects will keep him out of the lineup for 3-to-10 days...
Impact The low-grade ankle sprain is considered a best-case scenario for Davis, who picked up what appeared to be a more serious injury in Tuesday's 11-3 win. The Giants are hoping that Davis shows enough improvement by the weekend to avoid a stint on the injured list, though he's certainly not out of the woods yet. David Villar and Casey Schmitt will likely pick up most of the reps at third base for however long Davis is sidelined.

Returns to lineup Davis (hip) will bat cleanup and start at third base Saturday against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Davis was scratched from Friday's lineup with right hip tightness, but the injury was evidently a minor one.

Records first steal Davis went 2-for-4 with two walks, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 14-4 win over the Pirates.
Impact The steal was Davis' first of the season, matching his total from each of the previous two years. He had a rough patch where he went 2-for-19 over seven games in the middle of the month, but he's rebounded by going 9-for-33 across his last eight games. Davis is enjoying a solid bounce-back campaign, slashing .278/.356/.485 with nine home runs, 30 RBI and 24 runs scored through 50 contests. With Thairo Estrada (wrist) on the injured list, Casey Schmitt is more likely to see time at second base or shortstop, allowing Davis to hold down a near-everyday role at third base in the near term.
