The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled Noah Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the open roster spot after Bobby Miller was optioned on Thursday.
Davis has made five appearances with the Comets thus far, going 1-0 with a 7.94 ERA. Over six seasons in the Minor Leagues, he has posted a 4.68 ERA in 422.2 innings with 432 strikeouts.
Davis was acquired on March 27 from the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations and was added to the 40-man roster when Emmet Sheehan was transferred to the 60-day injured list. The 27-year-old previously signed a Minor League contract with Boston during the offseason.
Davis had nine strikeouts across 9.1 innings pitched, and yielded a 0.86 WHIP and .206 batting average against during four relief appearances in Grapefruit League games for the Red Sox this spring.
The last three seasons has seen Davis pitch in the Majors, but only to minimal appearances.
He pitched in a career-high nine games for the Colorado Rockies in 2024. The right-hander logged a career-high 30 innings for the Rockies in 2023, when he appeared in eight games (six starts) while allowing 13 runs in 20.1 innings with 15 strikeouts.
His MLB debut came against the Dodgers, when Davis allowed two runs on three hits, including a homer. He also faced the Dodgers in 2023, giving up four runs over 4.1 innings pitched during a start at Coors Field.
The Newport Beach, Calif., native was picked by the Cincinnati Reds in the 11th round of the 2018 MLB Draft out of the UC Santa Barbara.
Noah Davis scouting report
Davis features seven pitches in his arsenal, but mostly relies on a sinker, sweeper and cutter. He mixes in the occasional four-seamer, screwball, curveball and changeup as well.
His sinker averages 94 mph and his cutter at 89 mph while his sweeper sits around 80 mph.
Although his sinker and cutter are his primary offerings, they were hit hard in both 2023 and 2024, while his fastball was much more effective.
His curveball has been his most effective offering in both of the previous two seasons.
The Dodgers likely have asked him to limit his arsenal, potentially dropping his sinker and cutter while working more with his fastball and a limited pitch mix out of the bullpen.
