Infielder J.D. Davis has been released by the New York Yankees after a disappointing stint, hitting just .105 with one RBI in seven games following his trade from the Oakland Athletics. Acquired on June 23, Davis started six games but struggled offensively, contributing to the Yankees' decision to designate him for assignment. Before joining the Yankees, Davis had a lackluster season with the Athletics, batting .232 with four home runs across 135 plate appearances. His release is part of broader roster management by the Yankees, who also designated Jahmai Jones for assignment, later assigning him to Triple-A. Despite his recent struggles, analysts suggest Davis could attract interest from teams like the Tampa Bay Rays, Minnesota Twins, or Seattle Mariners, who may seek his veteran experience to bolster their rosters. Davis's recent performance contrasts sharply with his prior success, including a strong season with the San Francisco Giants, where he hit 18 home runs and 69 RBIs in 2022.
