Continues big August Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Davis' solo shot in the sixth inning gave the Giants a one-run lead, but Arizona stormed back in the eighth to pull out the win. The long ball was Davis' fourth in 12 games since he joined the Giants in a trade Aug. 2. The veteran is slashing .364/.447/.758 with his new club.

Steps out of lineup Davis is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Davis has a .308/.400/.654 slash line with three home runs, four RBI and four runs in eight games since being acquired by the Giants, and he'll take a seat Sunday for the second time in the past three contests. Wilmer Flores will start at the hot corner in the series finale versus Pittsburgh.

Not starting Friday Davis will sit Friday against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Since arriving in a deadline-day deal from the Mets, Davis has started five of eight games for the Giants. That may have been due to the fact that the Giants faced so many lefties right after the trade, however. He's started against all four southpaws the team has faced over that stretch, but his off day here against Bryse Wilson means he's sat against three out of four righties. Wilmer Flores will take over at third base.

Productive in Wednesday's loss Davis went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-7 loss to the Padres.

Impact Davis flexed some opposite-field power with his second-inning blast to right. The 29-year-old has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers in seven contests for the Giants since he was acquired from the Mets last week. For the season, he owns a .249/.330/.400 slash line with seven long balls, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base through 233 plate appearances. As long as he continues to hit well, Davis should maintain steady playing time, especially against southpaws, and he'll likely get some games versus right-handers too.

Goes deep again Davis went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Tommy La Stella started at third base Saturday, but Davis entered as a pinch hitter and clobbered a solo shot to center field. This was Davis' second homer in three games with the Giants after he hit just four in 66 contests with the Mets to begin the year. The 29-year-old is up to a .241/.323/.387 slash line with 24 RBI, 28 runs scored and a stolen base, but it appears he's settling in nicely to a part-time role with his new team.

Hits first homer with new team Davis went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Davis briefly gave the Giants a lead in the second inning, but it was gone in the fourth. Davis has gone 2-for-8 in two contests since joining the Giants, starting at third base in both games while Evan Longoria (hamstring) continues to work his way back. Through 68 games between the Giants and the Mets this year, Davis owns a .238/.321/.370 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base. He'll have a chance at regular playing time until the Giants get some players back from injury, which could push the 29-year-old into a short-side platoon role.

Impact Davis had been serving as a short-side platoon option at designated hitter for the Mets, and he'll likely fill a similar role in San Francisco now that he's swapping teams with Ruf. The righty-hitting Davis owns a .775 OPS against left-handed pitching for his career.
