The Yankees announced this afternoon that theyve activated infielder/outfielder after acquiring him from the Marlins yesterday. Chisholm will take the place of infielder on the active roster, as the club designated him for a signment today to make room for their new acquisition. The Yankees 40-man roster now stands at 39. Davis, 31, was by the Yankees in a trade with the As late last month. Its been a tumultuous year for the slugger, as he kicked off 2024 by heading to an arbitration hearing with the Giants. Davis but was by San Francisco after they signed to play third base instead. Davis wound up signing with the As just two weeks before the season began and managed to secure a guarantee Marcus Morris Sr. Jersey of just $2.5MM from Oakland, a far cry from his previously-awarded arbitration salary even after factoring in the roughly $1.1MM in termination pay he received from San Francisco. On the field, Davis performed decently for them with a 96 wRC+ in 39 games while splitting time between first base, third base, and DH but he eventually found himself on the outside looking in when he was DFAd as the club opted to give more playing time at the hot corner to and . A move to the Bronx seemed to suggest he could find more playing time going forward amid injuries to and , but havent turned out that way as hes appeared in just seven games with the club over the past month and has hit an anemic .105/.227/.158 in that limited playing time. Club manager Aaron Boone told reporters (including ) today that Stanton is expected to return to the lineup as soon as tomorrow, meaning even that limited playing time was likely to dry up for Davis in the coming days. While Daviss 2024 season has been a brutal one, prior to 2024 hed been a consistently above-average hitter ever since first taking a regular role with the Mets back in 2019. In five seasons with the Mets and Giants between 2019 and 2023, Davis slashed a strong .268/.352/.443 with a 120 wRC+, flashed 20-homer power and walked at a 10.2% clip despite an elevated 27.2% strikeout rate. That type of production could be a useful addition to plenty of teams, particularly those in need of help at first or third base. The Yankees will have one week to attempt to pa s Davis through waivers, and if he goes unclaimed he would have the opportunity to elect free agency in favor of accepting an outright a signment. Of course, its po sible that the club tries to put together a trade involving Davis prior to the upcoming trade deadline on Tuesday, and it seems likely theyll wait to waive Davis until after the deadline in order to explore his market fully.
