Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Brennen Davis went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer for Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday. His home run came off Alek Manoah in the top of the third inning. This was the outfielders first game in Iowa this season after returning from an arm injury that he suffered in spring training. Davis, 24, has slowly dropped from the Cubs top prospect over the past few seasons and injuries have been a big reason as he likely would have made his debut sometime in the past two seasons. Davis offers good power potential, but the Cubs have already promoted outfield prospects Alexander Canario and Pete Crow-Armstrong, so for now Davis will continue to swing the bat for Iowa. Outside of deeper dynasty leagues, Davis can be ignored for now.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Brennen Davis (concussion) was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's Cactus League game and is in the concussion protocol. He will be sidelined until he's able to clear the league's protocols for head injuries. The 24-year-old's concussion is considered mild, so hopefully he'll be able to get back to work sooner than later in camp. The former second-round pick by the Cubs in 2018 out of high school has an extensive injury history in the minors and has only played in 100-plus games once in five minor-league seasons. Davis slashed .187/.296/.279 with four home runs, 26 RBI and nine stolen bases in 62 games with Triple-A Iowa in 2023 and is ticketed for Iowa again to start the 2024 campaign.

Chicago Cubs prospect Brennen Davis homered for the first time in nearly four months on Tuesday. This was Davis' fourth rehab appearance with High-A South Bend following a core muscle surgery in June. Several injuries have hindered his development, and Davis has dropped remarkably in Chicago's prospect hierarchy. The 23-year-old ranks as the No. 19 farmhand in the Cubs' system after being regarded as a top-15 prospect in all of baseball in 2022, per MLB Pipeline. Davis' power-hitting upside is his most noteworthy attribute, though it has come at the expense of his ability to hit for average. He certainly won't be making an MLB appearance any time soon. Still, Davis is an interesting name to track if he can stay healthy and rediscover his groove at the plate.

The Chicago Cubs optioned outfielder Brennen Davis to Triple-A Iowa and sent center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to minor-league camp on Friday as part of their roster cuts in spring training. Davis is healthy after dealing with back issues in 2022, but he and Crow-Armstrong will be given more time to work on their craft down on the farm to begin the 2023 season. Davis struggled as Chicago's top prospect in 2022, but his back injury was most likely to blame. He still has a high ceiling due to his raw power at the plate. Crow-Armstrong is another one of the Cubs' top prospects, but he still has time to mature in the minors and hasn't played above High-A. Fantasy managers should expect both Davis and Crow-Armstrong to spend all of 2023 on the farm.
