Making case for rotation spot
Davies allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Facing most of Houston's likely Opening Day lineup, Davies kept the ball in the yard and counted Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker among his strikeout victims. The 31-year-old right-hander is in camp with the Nationals on an NRI, so he isn't even guaranteed a roster spot, but the rebuilding team can use innings-eaters at the back of the rotation, and Davies still seems capable of doing at least that much. He stumbled to a woeful 7.00 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 19.1 percent strikeout rate over 82.1 innings for Arizona in 2023, but per Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports, Davies built up to 89 pitches Thursday, and over 10.1 innings this spring he has an encouraging 13:5 K:BB.

2016
Davies declined his $1.5 million option with Arizona for 2022, but he ultimately re-signed on a one-year, $5 million deal. The veteran right-hander made 27 starts for the Diamondbacks last season and was a solid rotation piece with a 4.09 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 102:52 K:BB across 134.1 innings. He averaged just under five innings per start and recorded only two wins, which combined with his 17.9 percent strikeout rate leaves him as an unappealing fantasy option. Davies should make plenty of starts for Arizona again in 2023 but shouldn't be expected to provide much upside in fantasy beyond covering some innings given he profiles as a low-velocity pitcher with non-elite control.
