Davis was designated for assignment on Wednesday, the Washington Post's James Wagner reports.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Daniel Murphy. After missing all of 2014 due to Tommy John surgery, command issues have kept Davis contributing in a meaningful way at the big league level. He should spend a good chunk of 2016 at Triple-A.
