1B Ike Davis cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre Monday. Davis was designated for assignment Saturday to clear room on the active roster for Mark Teixeira. He started six games and appeared in eight games overall for the Yankees, who signed two weeks after he opted out of his contract with Texas.

1B Ike Davis was designated for assignment Saturday to clear room for 1B Mark Teixeira to be activated. Davis said he was not really surprised the Yankees designated him and added he would consider going to the minor leagues if he clears waivers.

1B Ike Davis joined the team and could help stabilize a position where the Yankees have been ravaged by injuries. He made his Yankees debut in the eighth inning on Tuesday night and drove in a run with a bases-loaded pinch-single, stayed in the game and struck out in the ninth. The Yankees signed him to a major league contract on Monday and selected him to the 25-man roster. First basemen Mark Teixera (right knee) and Chris Parmelee (right hamstring) are on the disabled list and Dustin Ackley and Greg Byrd are out all season after shoulder surgery. The Yankees have been using Rob Refsnyder, a second baseman, at first base. Referring to Davis, manager Joe Girardi said, "We're going to play him against right-handers, and we'll go from there. Ref's done a good job and we've asked a lot of Ref." Girardi, asked about the appeal of Davis, said, "He understands the position. He's a left-handed bat, Ike's played in New York, so he understands that part of it. It was someone we were interested in before in the offseason."

1B Ike Davis signed a major league contract with the Yankees, and he will join the team Tuesday in Colorado.Davis was playing with Triple-A Round Rock but had an opt-out clause in his contract with the Texas Rangers. This season, Davis batted .268 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 142 at-bats. Davis, who bats left-handed, hit 32 home runs in 2012 for the Mets, but he has struggled since then. He played with Pittsburgh and Oakland after leaving the Mets.

1B Ike Davis will reportedly sign a major league contract with the Yankees and could join the team Tuesday in Colorado. Davis was playing with Triple-A Round Rock but had an opt-out clause in his contract with the Texas Rangers and used to. This season Davis was batting .268 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 142 at-bats. Davis, who bats left-handed, hit 32 home runs in 2012 for the Mets, has struggled since then and played with Pittsburgh and Oakland after leaving the Mets. Coincidentally the reports surfaced on the same day 1B Nick Swisher homered twice for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.

1B Ike Davis (left hip surgery) will have his conditioning monitored this spring.

1B Ike Davis and the Rangers agreed to a minor league contract on Monday. Davis, who turns 29 next month, will report to spring training with the major-leaguers and be given an opportunity to make the squad.Davis dealt with injuries last season and hit just three homers in 74 games with the Athletics. He missed a month with a quadriceps injury and underwent season-ending hip surgery in August.Davis has a career batting average of .229 with 81 homers in six big-league seasons. He has played with the New York Mets and Pittsburgh in addition to Oakland.

1B Ike Davis was non-tendered by the A's on Wednesday, making him a free agent. Davis, 28, missed the last six weeks of the season due to surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. He hit .229/.301/.350 with three homers and 20 RBIs in 72 games this year.

Davis (hip) is expected to be ready for spring training next season, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday, and now will begin the rehab process. If he can rehab without a major setback of some kind, he should be ready to go for the start of next season.

Davis (hip) successfully underwent arthroscopic left hip surgery Thursday.

Davis suffered a strained left hip and torn labrum earlier in August and will remain sidelined from baseball activities for the time being. If all goes well over the offseason, the 28-year-old could be ready in time for the start of spring training for 2016.

Davis (hip) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list on Saturday, Joe Stiglich of CSN Bay Area reports.

This news comes as little surprise given the announcement Friday that Davis would require season-ending surgery on his torn labrum. Davis' spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Sean Doolittle, who was activated from the 60-day DL on Saturday.

The Oakland A's transferred first baseman Ike Davis to the 60-day disabled list Saturday after an MRI revealed he will need season-ending labrum surgery, according to CSN Bay Area.

The Oakland A's transferred first baseman Ike Davis to the 60-day disabled list Saturday after an MRI revealed he will need season-ending labrum surgery, according to CSN Bay Area. Davis, who missed more than a month earlier in the season with a quadriceps injury, had missed five of the last seven games before going on the disabled list earlier this week. Manager Bob Melvin said Davis experienced persistent discomfort while performing baseball activities prior to the diagnosis. "We took a while to get him back [from the quad injury]," Melvin told ESPN on Friday. "I thought once we got him back, he was over that hurdle. I guess it got progressively worse, and he wasn't saying a whole lot about it. Recently, the last couple weeks, it got to where he wasn't comfortable either swinging or running. It came to a head then, but it just wasn't getting any better, and the MRI revealed he needed to have surgery."

Davis (hip) will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum , Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis had a difficult first season as a member of A's, putting together a .229/.301/.350 slash line over 239 plate appearances. It's unknown when the injury itself occurred, but he was sparingly in the lineup over the last month. Mark Canha and Stephen Vogt figure to take over most of the first base duties with Davis sidelined for the remainder of the year. Davis was on a one-year deal with the A's before the injury, so it remains to be seen where he'll wind up when spring training opens in 2016.

Davis was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained left hip.

Davis missed Tuesday's game and five of the last seven contests, though it was likely the case of being outperformed by Mark Canha of late. It appears a hip issue may have played into it as well, and he'll now take an extended rest, and will be eligible to return in early September. The Athletics recalled Jake Smolinski in a corresponding move.

Oakland A's first baseman Ike Davis was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of a strained left hip.

Oakland A's first baseman Ike Davis was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of a strained left hip. Davis has missed five of the last seven games, and Mark Canha will likely get an increase in playing time while Davis is out.

Davis remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

Davis will take a seat for the fifth straight game, with Mark Canha replacing him at first in each of those contests. No word of an injury has surfaced, so it's likely his extended absence is performance related. Davis has followed up a .152 July batting average by going 6-for-33 at the plate in August, and has homered just once since the All-Star break.
