Wade Davis

The Royals have placed right-handed reliever Wade Davis on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain. The move is retroactive to Sunday, June 27th.

Fantasy Impact

Davis has struggled this season, going 0-2 with an 8.06 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, and .307 OBA through 25.2 innings of relief work. In a corresponding move, the Royals called up southpaw Richard Lovelady from Omaha.

Wade Davis (0-2) allowed two runs on three hits across 2/3 inning during Sunday’s 4-3 loss to the White Sox. He blew the save opportunity and was tagged with his second loss of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Davis entered Sunday’s game in the ninth inning to protect a 3-2 lead but was unable to secure the save. He surrendered two runs on three hits blowing his first save of the season. Davis owns a 7.53 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 14:6 K: BB across 14 1/3 innings. The 35-year-old is 1-for-2 in save opportunities and mainly in option in deep-league formats.

The Royals added RHP Wade Davis to their 40-man roster.

Fantasy Impact

Davis is having a productive spring after a disastrous few years in Colorado. He won't be a fantasy option unless he starts seeing save chances, which isn't something to count on.

The Royals signed RHP Wade Davis to a minor league contract.

Fantasy Impact

Davis made just five appearances in 2020 and hasn't been an effective reliever since 2017. He has a history in Kansas City, however, so this should be viewed as a low-cost reclamation project.

The Rockies released RHP Wade Davis.

Fantasy Impact

Davis was designated for assignment last week and passed through waivers unclaimed. It's the end of a disastrous tenure with the Rockies. Davis signed a three-year, $52 million contract prior to the 2018 season only to post a 6.49 ERA during his time in Colorado.
