Henry Davis News
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher/outfielder Henry Davis and outfielder Michael Taylor will start on the bench on Monday for the series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers. Joey Bart will do the catching for the Bucs and will hit ninth, while Jack Suwinski is in center field and batting cleanup against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. This will be Bart's second start in the last three games, and he could see more time behind the plate with Davis starting off his second MLB season just 4-for-30 at the plate. It helps Bart's cause that both Yasmani Grandal (foot) and Jason Delay (knee) are currently on the injured list. This will be Taylor's third straight game starting on the bench. Suwinski is just 6-for-34 (.176) in the early going but will have elevated DFS sleeper appeal in the cleanup spot on Monday.
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher/outfielder Henry Davis went 0-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a strikeout out of the nine-hole in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles and is now hitless in his last five games to fall to 4-for-30 (.133) with no home runs, two RBI, four runs scored and 11 strikeouts in 37 plate appearances over the first nine games of his sophomore season. It's not the start that the 24-year-old or fantasy managers were hoping for from the former first overall pick in 2021 out of Louisville, but the good news is that Davis is going to continue playing regularly with both Yasmani Grandal (foot) and Jason Delay (knee) injured. Through his first 71 MLB games, though, Davis has hit only .204/.295/.333 with seven homers and 26 RBI in 292 trips to the plate.
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher/outfielder Henry Davis and third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes are out of the lineup Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles. For Davis, this is a typical day off for the catcher to regroup, as he has gone 0-for-12 with six strikeouts in the last three games. Joey Bart replaces Davis behind the plate and is batting eighth in Saturday's game. Hayes will get his first breather of the year, as he has started every game for the Pirates thus far while swinging a hot bat, going 11-for-34 in his first eight games. Jared Triolo will handle third base duties while Hayes is rested. Expect Davis and Hayes to be in Pittsburgh's lineup on Sunday in the series finale against the Orioles.

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher/outfielder Henry Davis graduated from prospect status and appeared in 62 games for the Bucs in the 2023 season. His debut season wasn't exactly a productive one as he hit just .213 with seven home runs, three stolen bases, and a .653 OPS across 255 trips to the plate. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick also spent just two innings behind the plate versus 417 1/3 frames in the outfield. The good news is Pirates management stated Henry will indeed enter spring training as a backstop but he is currently not catcher-eligible. The long-term outlook is murky. His bat will play and ATC is projecting 15 home runs and nine stolen bases from Henry in 2024, solid figures for a catcher as he seemingly should gain eligibility early in the season. However, dynasty league managers will want to take note that there is a very real chance he ends up in right field, first base, or designated hitter. His defense graded poorly in right in his rookie season. For now, his 344.21 ADP as an outfielder is steep but considering the catchers available in that range, he is offering some value at his prevailing ADP for 2024.
