Davis hit .285/.331/.549 with 17 homers and 55 RBI in 80 games during his rookie campaign in 2008, causing fantasy owners to salivate like Pavlov’s dog.

Since September 1, Davis has hit .320 (33-for-103) with five homers and 20 RBIs. Davis has also struck out 27 times in those 103 at-bats, but if Davis can continue to make steady contact, those whiffs will seem less like a deal-breaker and more like a price owners are willing to pay for the sort of power production Davis can provide when he's right. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Chris_Davis/562605 562605 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 1:52:14 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Chris_Davis/562605 Chris Davis returned to action on Thursday October 1.

Our View: Davis is wrapping up an immensely disappointing season that has seen him bat just .232 in 109 games while striking out an incredible 148 times. His 21 home runs and 57 RBI are indicative of his prodigious power, but he'll never be a viable major league hitter if he can't vastly improve his plate discipline.

Sullivan, of MLB.com, reports Texas Rangers OF Marlon Byrd (hip) and 1B Chris Davis (hamstring) were both out of the lineup Wednesday, Sept. 30. Byrd is unlikely to be back in the lineup until Friday, Oct. 2. Davis was out of the lineup for a second straight game with a strained left hamstring. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Chris_Davis/558470 558470 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:52:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Chris_Davis/558470 Davis out with hamstring injury Chris Davis was held out of the Rangers' lineup on Tuesday with a strained hamstring, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Davis injured the hammy stretching for a ball at first base on Monday.

Our View: Davis is hoping that he will only miss a game or two, so this doesn't appear to be serious. He has been better since being recalled from Triple-A, but he has a long way to go before he lives up to his potential as a top-flight fantasy power threat.
