  • Athletics' J.D. Davis: Signs with A's

    Davis signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Athletics on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    The Matt Chapman signing squeezed Davis out of San Francisco, but he will remain in the Bay Area. With a .760 OPS across the past three seasons, Davis instantly becomes one of the best bats in Oakland's lineup and is sure to see regular action at third base. However, the Athletics don't project to be competitive in 2024, so the 30-year-old could be flipped to a contender at the trade deadline in order to add to the team's pool of minor-league prospects.

  • J.D. Davis: Released by San Francisco

    Davis was released by the Giants on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Davis went unclaimed after the Giants placed him on waivers Saturday following the Matt Chapman signing and now is free to sign anywhere. Because the 30-year-old elected to take the Giants to arbitration this offseason, the club will have to pay him only a fraction of the $6.9 million he had been owed. Davis slashed .248/.325/.413 with 18 home runs across 544 plate appearances last season and should receive plenty of interest on the open market.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Placed on waivers

    The Giants placed Davis on waivers Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Davis entered spring camp as the Giants' primary third baseman, but he quickly found himself without a clear path to playing time after the team signed Matt Chapman to a one-year deal. Rather than having Davis begin most games on the bench, the Giants will now place him on waivers in an effort to alleviate $6.9 million from their payroll. Davis slashed .248/.325/.413 with 18 homers and 69 RBI across 544 plate appearances last season and is sure to receive interest from other clubs, if not on waivers then on the free-agent market.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Loses starting role to Chapman

    Davis told reporters he's willing to do "whatever the team needs," following the Giants' signing of Matt Chapman on Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Prior to the deal, Davis was lined up for the starting job at third base. Davis now is likely to either be a reserve or trade option, as the Giants also have Wilmer Flores available for an infield utility role and LaMonte Wade expected to handle a strong-side platoon role at first base. Davis batted. 248 with 18 home runs and a career-high 69 RBI over 144 contests last season and was awarded a $6.9 million contract in arbitration in February.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Wins arbitration hearing

    Davis will make $6.9 million in 2024 after winning his arbitration case against the Giants on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Davis slashed .248/.325/.413 with 18 home runs and 69 RBI across 544 plate appearances in his first full season with San Francisco -- good enough to earn himself an extra $350,000 over what the Giants offered him. Davis appears in line to serve as the Giants' starting third baseman again in 2024 and is slated to enter free agency next winter.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Season ends with shoulder strain

    Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 27, with a left shoulder strain.

    Davis injured his shoulder on a slide during Tuesday's game against the Padres and it will prematurely end his 2023 campaign. The 30-year-old will finish having slashed .248/.325/.413 with 18 home runs and 69 RBI over 144 games. Davis will be arbitration-eligible for a final time this offseason.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Suffers shoulder strain

    Davis exited Tuesday's game against San Diego with a strained left shoulder, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Davis' injury came on an awkward slide into third base after he hit a line drive into right field during the first inning. The Giants haven't provided any information that could help determine how long Davis' absence will be, but a trip to the injured list is possible and would put an early end to the 30-year-old's season. If Davis does end up missing an extended period of time, Tyler Fitzgerald would likely see an increase in reps at third base with Wilmer Flores (knee) also rehabbing an injury.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Heads to bench

    Davis will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The veteran won't be asked to start twice in one day Saturday, but he'll likely return to the lineup for the nightcap and will be looking to tee off on lefty Kyle Freeland. In the afternoon game, Wilmer Flores starts at the hot corner.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Smacks game-tying homer

    Davis went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Guardians.

He's sat out against two of the last four right-handed pitchers the Giants have faced, but he's still in the lineup more often than not between third base, first base and designated hitter. For the season, Davis is slashing .251/.327/.421 with 18 homers, 68 RBI, 57 runs scored, one stolen base, 21 doubles and one triple through 133 games.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Launches homer

    Davis went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

    After going 24 contests without a homer in August, Davis has gone yard in two of his last three games. He's hitting .304 (7-for-23) in September since he shook off a hand injury. The corner infielder is at a .249/.323/.414 slash line with 17 homers, 63 RBI, 55 runs scored and a stolen base through 130 contests this season. His .737 OPS is his worst in five years, but he's still managed to be productive when it comes to counting stats.

  • Giants' J.D. Davis: Ends power drought

    Davis went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 11-8 loss to the Cubs.

    The 30-year-old led a four-homer barrage for the Giants, taking Hayden Wesneski deep in the sixth inning to give San Francisco a 6-4 lead, but Chicago quickly answered back and never trailed again. Davis snapped a 24-game power drought with the performance, a stretch in which he'd managed only three doubles and four RBI, but he's been showing signs of life lately -- including Tuesday's effort, he's batting .316 (12-for-28) over his last 12 contests.
