Impact Davis made one of the catches of the season to kick off the bottom of the second, flagging down a screaming line drive off the bat of Randy Arozarena at the warning track.

Jace Peterson entered the game as a replacement for Davis.

May move into short side of platoon Davis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Kolten Wong's (calf) return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday looks as though it may indirectly bump Davis into a short-side platoon role. With Wong set to handle an everyday role at second base, the versatile Jace Peterson no longer has a regular spot in the infield, so he'll occupy right field in Tuesday's game. As a left-handed hitter, Peterson projects to handle the larger side of a platoon in the outfield with the right-handed Davis, who is out of the lineup while righty Shane Baz takes the hill for Tampa Bay. Davis started in each of the previous four games, going 3-for-14 with two walks, a stolen base, a run and an RBI.

Davis also picked up his first steal of the season in Sunday's game. Since Milwaukee selected his contract on June 18, the outfielder has five hits in five games and is slashing .278/.381/.278 during that span.

Davis had his contract selected by Milwaukee last weekend and is 4-for-15 with two walks and five strikeouts.
