2023 Fantasy Outlook
Nothing went right for Davis last season. He entered the year as the Cubs' top prospect but scuffled in the cold weather of the Midwest over the first month at Triple-A Iowa before getting shut down with a back injury in early-May and then having back surgery in early-June. Davis finished a rehab assignment at the end of August and returned to Triple-A, where he failed to get on track before the end of the season. A trip to the Arizona Fall League was supposed to be an opportunity for Davis to make up for lost time and finish the year on a high note, but though he looked excellent while hitting two home runs in his first five games, back issues resurfaced and Davis was limited to 21 plate appearances (1.048 OPS). Injuries can excuse some of Davis's struggles at Triple-A (.213/.343/.381 slash line, 27.7 K%, eight HR, zero SB in 59 games), but he is 23 and on the 40-man roster, so further excuses probably won't fly in 2023. Davis still has at least plus raw power, but his hit tool and durability are suspect and he no longer looks like a decent bet to chip in double-digit steals. Read Past Outlooks
Sent down to Triple-A
Davis was optioned to Triple-A Iowa by the Cubs on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Davis is finally over the back problems that plagued him last season, but he'll need to knock off some rust in the minors. The ceiling remains high for the 23-year-old.

2019
Davis could be the face of the next great Cubs team. He is a 6-foot-4, five-tool center fielder with a chance to make a fantasy impact this summer. The sneaky thing about Davis is that the widespread grade of 60 on his power might be selling him short. He hits majestic, towering shots to all fields and does so with ease. His worst ISO in full-season ball was a .220 mark at Low-A in 2019, and he turned 22 in November. The two knocks on Davis are that he doesn't make the most of his plus speed on the bases, and that his hit tool may top out at average. He attempted just 12 steals (eight successes) in 99 games last year, so it would be unrealistic to expect more than 15 steals over a full MLB season. His 30.7 K% at Double-A is a massive outlier, as his next worst mark is 22.1% at Triple-A, but given his long levers and massive power, strikeouts will probably always be a part of the package. Davis will be one of the Cubs' most talented outfielders in spring training, but he will likely head back to Triple-A for a couple of months before making his long-awaited big-league debut.
