Back on bench for Game 1 Davis is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

Impact Davis had started in three of the past four games, going 1-for-11 with a triple, two RBI and a run. He's expected to continue sharing the designated-hitter role with Dominic Smith, whose left-handedness may give him the edge in terms of playing time.

On bench again for Game 1 Davis is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Philadelphia, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Davis started three of four games in Atlanta following the release of Robinson Cano, but he finds himself on the bench for the second straight game in Sunday's matinee. He's more likely to be in the lineup for Game 2 with lefty Cristopher Sanchez on the mound for Philadelphia. Pete Alonso will serve as the designated hitter in Game 1 with Dominic Smith starting at first base.

Makes another start versus righty Davis will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact After moving past a recent foot injury, Davis has picked up three starts during the four-game series with Atlanta. For the second straight game, he'll be included in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher, as Ian Anderson toes the rubber for Atlanta in the series finale. Meanwhile, the lefty-hitting Dominic Smith is on the bench, perhaps signaling that the righty-hitting Davis could be the Mets' preferred option at DH in the wake of Robinson Cano being cast off the 40-man roster.

Returns to lineup Davis (foot) will bat sixth and play third base Monday against Atlanta.

Impact Davis starts for the first time since Wednesday's game against the Cardinals after getting hit in the foot by a pitch in that contest, though there's no guarantee his absence was entirely injury-related, as he hasn't been an everyday player this season. He'll make his eighth start of the season Monday, pushing Eduardo Escobar to the designated hitter spot.

May be available Friday Manager Buck Showalter said Davis (foot) is feeling much better and could be available off the bench Friday against the Phillies, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The 29-year-old had X-rays on his left foot come back negative after being hit by a pitch Wednesday, and the injury may not end up resulting in much of an absence. Davis remains out of the lineup Friday, though he'd likely be sitting regardless of the injury since righty Aaron Nola is pitching for Philadelphia.
