The Athletics have designated infielder J.D. Davis for assignment, according to a report by NBC Sports Bay Area. ESPN’s Jeff Passan had previously reported that sources had confirmed Davis’ designation on Monday.
Despite performing well with the Giants last season, Davis struggled to make an impact with Oakland this year. With Matt Chapman solidifying the Giants’ infield and the emergence of Abraham Toro and Tyler Soderstrom on the corners, Davis found himself as the odd man out in Oakland.
In his time with the A’s in 2024, Davis hit just four home runs and seven RBI after returning from an injury that sidelined him for a month. Despite his previous success in San Francisco, Davis was unable to replicate those numbers with Oakland, leading to his designation for assignment by the team.
