The Cubs recalled Davis from Triple-A Iowa on Friday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a left ankle fracture, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Davis recently returned to action at Triple-A after missing two months with a back fracture, but his season will now end prematurely due to his fractured ankle. The Cubs' decision to place Davis on the 60-day IL opens a spot on the 40-man roster for Jimmy Herget, who was claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Friday and will report to Iowa.
