Nationals' Zach Davies: Making case for rotation spot
Zach Davies allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros. He struck out five.Facing most of Houston's likely Opening Day lineup, Davies kept the ball in the yard and counted Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker among his strikeout victims. The 31-year-old right-hander is in camp with the Washington Nationals on an NRI, so he isn't even guaranteed a roster spot, but the rebuilding team can use innings-eaters at the back of the rotation, and Davies still seems capable of doing at least that much. He stumbled to a woeful 7.00 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 19.1 percent strikeout rate over 82.1 innings for Arizona in 2023, but per Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports, Davies built up to 89 pitches Thursday, and over 10.1 innings this spring he has an encouraging 13:5 K:BB.

Nationals' Zach Davies: Gets NRI from Nats
Zach Davies signed a minor-league contract with the Washington Nationals on Saturday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.Davies struggled mightily across 18 starts with Arizona last year, accumulating a 7.00 ERA and 1.66 WHIP across 82.1 frames, and he was eventually released by the D-backs in September. He'll now have a chance to bounce back with Washington, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Davies begin 2024 in Triple-A before he gets another shot in the majors.

Diamondbacks' Zach Davies: Designated for assignment
Zach Davies was designated for assignment Wednesday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.The move comes one day after Davies yielded four runs over just three innings in Arizona's win over the White Sox. He didn't go more than four frames in any of his last four outings and heads to the waiver wire having posted a 7.00 ERA over 18 starts this season. Ryne Nelson pitched well in relief of Davies on Tuesday and could now take his spot in the rotation Sunday. Davies has a $5.5 million mutual option or $300,000 buyout for 2024, so the Arizona Diamondbacks will pay that latter figure.

Zach Davies did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over three innings against the White Sox. He struck out three.Despite being 10 days removed from his last start due to a postponement, Davies failed to go deeper than three frames Tuesday. He was immediately tagged by Eloy Jimenez for a three-run homer in the first inning before also surrendering an RBI single to the slugger in the second frame. Davies has now lasted four or fewer innings in four consecutive outings, a stretch in which he's surrendered at least three runs in every start. The veteran is lined up to make one more start this season, which is expected to come Sunday against the Astros.
