Davis left Sunday's game due to flu-like symptoms, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune reports.

Davis was held out of Friday's lineup due to illness, but was able to return to action Saturday to go 0-for-3 at this dish. Despite getting the starting nod again Sunday, it appears his symptoms have re-appeared, forcing his early exit. If the Pirates end up having to play a tiebreaker game with the Cardinals on Monday, consider Davis questionable for that contest. However, his health should come back around if the find themselves in a NL Wild Card game Wednesday.

Davis is out of the lineup Friday against the Cubs, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune reports.

Davis has started seven straight games for the Pirates, but will give way to Gaby Sanchez with left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada on the mound for the Cubs. Davis has just a .256 OPS against southpaws this season, so the move makes perfect sense from a statistical standpoint. There's a chance Davis could sit Saturday as well, with another left-hander, Felix Doubront, on the mound.

Davis started his third consecutive game Friday, going 1-for-3 against the Reds.

Davis has hit two monumental blasts in those games and figures to start against righty, Alfredo Simon, on Saturday. Davis has two hits and two walks in nine at-bats against Simon. He's hot right now and deserves merit as a fantasy option.

Davis was 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in the Pirates win over the Cardinals Wednesday.

Davis will be on the bench for the fifth straight game Monday against the Cardinals, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

With Pedro Alvarez transitioning over to first base in light of his ongoing defensive struggles at third base, Davis seems destined to see only pinch-hitting duty and the occasional spot start the rest of the season. In an ideal scenario for the Pirates, Davis would at least be one half of a platoon at first base, but even that's not possible since both he and Alvarez are left-handed batters.

Davis is out of the lineup Monday vs. the Braves, MLB.com reports.

Davis will give way to Pedro Alvarez at first base Monday, a development that could become more of a trend given the latter's ongoing defensive struggles at third base, as well as Josh Harrison's ascension into an everyday role. Alvarez has offered better power numbers than Davis the last two seasons, but Davis' .354 on-base percentage and strong track record against right-handers may make him the superior option at first base.

Davis delivered his third straight solid start Wednesday, going 1-for-2 with a pair of walks.

Davis delivered a pinch-hit RBI double Tuesday against Detroit.

He hit his eighth homer a game early. Davis could lose playing time if the Pirates decide to give fellow left-handed hitting Pedro Alvarez a shot at first base, but Davis needs to right his own ship. He holds a healthy .347 on-base percentage but his .723 OPS in 334 plate appearances leaves much to be desired.

Davis is out of the Pirates' lineup Thursday against the Marlins, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Manager Clint Hurdle has limited Davis' exposure to lefties all season and that won't change anytime soon. Gaby Sanchez will man first base and bat cleanup Thursday against lefty Brian Flynn.

Davis hasn't made a lot of noise since hitting a grand slam in his third game with the Pirates, but he's hitting a fine .292 with three homers and 16 walks in 113 at-bats for his new team. What he isn't doing is driving in a lot runs: just 12 in 37 games so far. Now that he's getting a look in the cleanup spot against righties, he'll need to get better there.

Ike Davis went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Friday against the Nationals.

Both hits were singles. Davis is hitting .293 (27-for-92) with two home runs, six doubles, and 10 RBI in 30 games since coming over from the Mets. It would be nice to see more power, but he's a worthwhile pickup for fantasy owners who might have lost Brandon Belt, Joey Votto, or Prince Fielder in recent weeks.
