Making case for rotation spot Davidson struck out four batters over three perfect innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
Impact Facing something very close to Minnesota's Opening Day lineup, Davidson went nine up and nine down, with his strikeout victims including Gary Sanchez, Miguel Sano and Alex Kirilloff. Davidson has looked very good to begin spring training, posting an 8:0 K:BB through his first five innings, and after getting his first taste of success in the majors at the end of the 2021 campaign, the southpaw could be emerging from the pack of younger arms competing for a spot at the back of Atlanta's Opening Day rotation.

Starting Game 5 Davidson will start Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday.
Impact Davidson was added to the World Series roster to replace Charlie Morton (lower leg) and will be making his postseason debut. The lefty impressed in four starts this regular season, totaling 20 innings and striking out 18 while managing a 3.60 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Manager Brian Snitker will certainly have Davidson on a short leash, especially with Drew Smyly rested and available to provide length out of the bullpen if needed.

Added to World Series roster Davidson (forearm) was added to Atlanta's World Series roster Wednesday.
Impact Davidson sustained a forearm injury since mid-June and was unable to return to game action during the second half of the season, but he began a rehab assignment in early October. The southpaw generated a 3.60 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 20 innings across four major-league starts during the regular season and should be in the mix to serve as a starter in the World Series after Charlie Morton (lower leg) was removed from the roster.
