Noah Davis DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled right-handed pitcher Noah Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Friday's contest against the Texas Rangers. On Thursday, the Dodgers optioned right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller to Triple-A after he made a spot-start. Davis will take his spot on the roster. Davis has spent his major league career with the Colorado Rockies. Last summer, Davis logged 20 1/3 innings of work in Colorado to the tune of a 5.75 ERA with a 1.87 WHIP. He struck out just 15 batters. Throughout his time in the MLB, he has only been deployed out of the bullpen. Fantasy managers should expect Davis to have a low-leverage role in the bullpen and not carry any fantasy value.

Free-agent right-hander Noah Davis announced on his Instagram account that he signed a minor-league deal with the Boston Red Sox over the weekend. Davis debuted in the big leagues in 2022 for the Colorado Rockies but has appeared in only 18 games (six starts) since then, posting a 7.71 ERA (5.65 FIP) and a 1.95 WHIP with 43 strikeouts and 23 walks in 51 1/3 innings pitched. The 27-year-old was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 11th round out of the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2018. In 19 outings (eight starts) at Triple-A Albuquerque in the minors this past season, he went 2-3 with a 5.77 ERA, a 1.65 WHIP and 72:31 K:BB in 68 2/3 frames. Davis will give the Red Sox some pitching depth as both a starter and reliever heading into spring training in February, but he'll likely open the year at Triple-A Worcester.
