Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Allows three in no-decision
Davies did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
Davies didn't miss many bats Thursday but managed to hold Colorado to three runs on seven hits. The 30-year-old Davies has yet to pitch into the sixth inning through four starts this season. He's 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB. Davies is currently lined up to face the Nationals in his next outing.

2019

2017
2016
Davies made 32 starts for the Cubs last season and was unable to replicate his 2.73 ERA from the shortened 2020 campaign, and he finished with a 5.78 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 114:75 K:BB across 148 innings. Making half his starters in the Windy City certainly didn't help, but the right-hander's issues went deeper as he posted a career-high 11.2 percent walk rate, which is especially poor since he's a low-velocity pitcher who relies on hitting his spots. Davies is with the Diamondbacks on a one-year deal, and he won't offer much upside even if he regains his 2020 form since he still won't produce much for strikeouts or wins.
