Placed on 10-day injured list Davis (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
Impact Davis isn't expected to return before mid-April after suffering a Grade 2 left quadriceps strain in late March. With Willie Calhoun (groin) also injured, the Rangers are expected to rotate players through the designated hitter spot, with Eli White getting the nod on Opening Day against the Royals.

Out 3-to-4 weeks Davis was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his left quadriceps Wednesday and will be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Impact The 33-year-old suffered the injury during Tuesday's spring matchup with the Angels and will be unavailable for Opening Day. Willie Calhoun (groin) is also out to begin the season, so the Rangers could have a rotating cast at designated hitter early on. Davis could return to action around mid-April if all goes well in his recovery.

Rangers DH Khris Davis injures quad running out bunt single
Texas Rangers designated hitter Khris Davis has strained his left quadriceps and could start the season on the injured listMARCH 24, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Diagnosed with quadriceps strain Davis was diagnosed with a strained left quadriceps after leaving Tuesday's game against the Angels.
Impact Davis suffered the injury while running to first base. His timeline isn't clear yet, but anything more than a very minor injury at this stage of camp would likely send him to the injured list to start the year. Willie Calhoun (groin) is already ruled out for the start of the year, which could open up playing time as a designated hitter for Ronald Guzman or another projected bench player.

Exits with leg injury Davis exited Tuesday's game against the Angels with what appeared to be a hamstring or quadriceps injury, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact It's the second time Davis has left a game in two days, as he exited Monday's contest after getting hit in the head by a pitch. While that incident didn't cause him to miss any time, it's possible Tuesday's injury is a more serious one. With Willie Calhoun (groin) already set to miss time to start the season, a trip to the injured list for Davis could mean first basemen Nate Lowe and Ronald Guzman both find themselves in the lineup on a regular basis early in the season.

Impact Davis was hit by a pitch in the shoulder/head area in his final plate appearance during Monday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies, but he was fortunate to avoid any significant injury. His return to the lineup a day later confirms he'll be ready to go for Opening Day.

Avoids serious injury Davis was hit by a pitch in the helmet Monday, though it hit his shoulder first and he avoided serious injury, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact The pitch initially appeared to hit Davis directly in the head, though it reportedly glanced off his shoulder first. Regardless, the hit-by-pitch has not caused a serious injury and preliminary reports suggest that Davis is feeling fine. That should keep him in line to serve as the team's primary designated hitter to begin the season with Willie Calhoun (groin) sidelined.

Hit in head by pitch Davis left Monday's game against the Rockies after getting hit in the helmet by a fastball, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Davis' helmet appears to have helped him prevent a serious injury, as he was up and looking fine after the incident, but he'll leave the game nonetheless. Assuming the injury doesn't keep him out long, he's expected to enter the season as the Rangers' primary designated hitter while Willie Calhoun (groin) misses the first two weeks.

The Rangers need a Khris Davis type. But can he return to form? The Rangers have been lacking in right-handed power since Nelson Cruz departed. Can Davis get back to his 2018 form to be that force?

Breaks out Thursday Davis went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's spring game against the Reds.
Impact Davis has had an unremarkable spring to this point, but Thursday's two-homer binge is a reminder of what the right-handed slugger can bring to a lefty-dominant batting order. With Willie Calhoun (groin) a potential candidate for the injured list to start the season, Davis could earn a roster spot and serve as the primary designated hitter. Minus Calhoun, Davis' main competition for DH at-bats is the loser of the competition at first base between left-handed hitters Ronald Guzman and Nate Lowe.

Slow spring Davis went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's spring game against the Rockies.
Impact The slugging Davis is now 1-for-18 with seven strikeouts over eight Cactus League games. If not for the $16.7 million he's owed this season, Davis might be an easy cut for the Rangers. He's had a history of slow springs followed by productive regular seasons, but that hasn't held the last two seasons, leaving the team with a decision. As a right-handed power hitter, Davis would provide balance to a lefty-dominant order. If the Rangers move on from him, they could give DH at-bats to Willie Calhoun and would have the flexibility to keep Ronald Guzman.
