2023 Fantasy Outlook
Davidson was the primary target for the Angels in the trade that sent closer Raisel Iglesias to Atlanta in August, and he stayed on Los Angeles' big-league roster for the remainder of the campaign in what was essentially an audition for the team's 2023 rotation. There were a few decent moments among the southpaw's eight outings with Los Angeles, but he mostly failed to impress, posting a 6.87 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 23:22 K:BB over 36.2 innings. Davidson struggled mightily with his four-seamer in the majors last season, recording just a 14.6% whiff rate on the pitch and surrendering a .301 average to opposing batters. He consequently flipped the script from his previous campaigns and turned to his slider as his primary offering, tossing it 44.1% of the time to better results. While the pitch can be a weapon, it's hard to get by without an effective fastball, especially without a developed third offering. Angels coaches have worked with Davidson on throwing his changeup more often, and whether he's able to do so with success could be key to his outlook moving forward. There's a chance Davidson could nab the final spot in the team's six-man rotation next season, but he'd be on thin ice given his unproven results in the majors thus far. Read Past Outlooks

Gets call for Cactus opener

February 21, 2023
Davidson will start the Angels' Cactus League opener Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Davidson is completing for the sixth spot in the Angels' rotation, although manager Phil Nevin has indication his sixth starter will serve more of a swingman role this year. The left-hander is out of options, so he seems likely to make the Opening Day roster in some capacity. Davidson's competition this spring includes Jaime Barria, Griffin Canning and Chris Rodriguez.

Spring Training Job Battles: American League
21 days ago
Erik Halterman breaks down the competition for AL jobs, including in Minnesota where Nick Gordon likely will spend time at several spots around the diamond this season.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
After failing to break camp with the Braves out of spring training, Davidson capped off his roller coaster 2021 by starting Game 5 of the World Series against the Astros. He did not factor into the decision after allowing two runs over two innings as the opener, but it was a nice cap on his season after the southpaw spent four months on IL with forearm inflammation. Prior to his injury, Davidson was serviceable in four starts for Atlanta, allowing eight runs over 20 innings (3.60 ERA) with 18 strikeouts. However, the lefty's command woes persisted (3.6 BB/9) after he appeared to improve in that area over 23 Triple-A innings (2.0 BB/9). Davidson doesn't appear to have much else to prove in the minors after compiling a 2.76 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across five minor-league seasons. He'll begin the 2022 campaign on Atlanta's major-league roster but is likely to serve out of the bullpen and as a potential sixth starter.
There were some rumblings that Davidson could challenge for a rotation spot amidst the condensed nature of the 2020 season, but the left-hander ended up spending most of the campaign at the Braves' alternate training site. He did get a chance to make his big-league debut against Boston in late September but struggled mightily, yielding seven runs (two earned) over 1.2 frames. Davidson walked four batters in that start and missed the plate on over half of his pitches, highlighting the command issues that dogged him over his previous two minor-league seasons. While he ascended from High-A to Triple-A during that stretch and posted otherwise good numbers, Davidson also registered a troubling 4.1 BB/9. He has an electric fastball and a good enough arsenal to succeed as a starter, but his role could ultimately be determined by his ability to get the ball over the plate.
