Released by Nationals
Davies was released by the Nationals on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Davies was informed he wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster and presumably then triggered the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract. He could latch on with another club in search of rotation depth.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moving to Pittsburgh?
The Pirates may pursue Davies in free agency, reports Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
After struggling in 2021, Davies secured a one-year, $1.75 million contract with Arizona and produced a 4.09 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 134.1 innings. It was a solid but unspectacular season for the 29-year-old, and he may have to settle for another one-year pact for 2023. Pittsburgh has had success signing veteran starters to one-year deals over the past few seasons and flipping them for future assets. Davies could fit that mold if he's willing to sign with a team amid a prolonged rebuild.

2019
2018
2017
2016
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.
