Wade Davis News
Relief pitcher Wade Davis has retired. The Kansas City Royals, a team that Davis spent five seasons with, announced the news in a tweet on Wednesday. Davis was a starter early in his career but later switched to the bullpen where he found most of his success. He pitched for the Royals, Tampa Bay Rays, Chicago Cubs, and Colorado Rockies in a 13-year, Major League career. The right-hander won a World Series ring in 2015 with Kansas City and earned All-Star honors three times in his career. He finished eighth in American League Cy Young voting in 2014 and sixth in 2015. The reliever also came in 28th in MVP voting during that season. Davis finishes his career with a lifetime 13.7 fWAR, a 3.94 ERA, and a 3.86 FIP. His postseason ERA sits at 1.80 in 40 playoff innings.
The Kansas City Royals placed relief pitcher Wade Davis (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation on Wednesday. The 36-year-old veteran was hit hard in his last appearance against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. He pitched one inning and allowed three hits, two walks and three earned runs. It's been a rough year overall for the three-time All-Star. Over 40 appearances, he's posted a 6.75 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP while converting two of his three save opportunities. The Royals also placed starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) on the injured list on Wednesday while relievers Scott Blewett and Gabe Speier were added to the roster.
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Wade Davis recorded the final out in the team's 9-8 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday to earn his second save of the year. Greg Holland started out the ninth inning, but was removed after allowing two runs and recording two outs. Davis has struggled to the tune of a 7.67 ERA and 1.56 WHIP this year. He recorded a save on Opening Day and blew a save opportunity in mid-May. After Saturday's game, he's now 2-for-3 in save opportunities on the year. Holland should still be considered the frontrunner for saves for now. Scott Barlow, who has five saves on the year, is probably the next man up, but Davis could be next in line after Barlow.
