Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Mets optioned 1B Ike Davis to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Davis had just one hit in his last 15 at-bats and was batting .161/.242/.258 over his first 55 games this season. The Mets needed to make changes after losing five straight games to the Marlins in consecutive weekends, so Davis will have to work through his struggles in the minors. Mike Baxter and left-hander Robert Carson have also been demoted to the Mets' Triple-A affiliate.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis had an RBI single and a long two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.

Ike's fourth-inning blast, which was his first homer since April 25, easily cleared the wall in center field. After nearly getting demoted last week, he has showed a bit of a pulse over the last few days, batting .333 with a homer and five RBI over his last four games. It's not much, but Davis will take a small step in the right direction.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis will bat eighth for the second straight game Wednesday against the Yankees.

Davis went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Tuesday and is batting just .152/.237/.241 in 47 games this season. The clock is ticking for him to avoid a demotion. Ruben Tejada, who is also under consideration to be sent down, is in the leadoff spot again.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Mets manager Terry Collins confirmed during a radio appearance that Ike Davis will bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Yikes. After playing the hero on Sunday night, Davis struck out in all three of his at-bats on Monday. And now he'll make his first career start of the No. 8 spot. With a .155 batting average and 57 strikeouts in 155 at-bats, a possible demotion is still very much in play.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis followed up his nice game Sunday by striking out all three times he was up on Monday night.

Davis had his first multihit game since April 19 last night, but he returned to previous form against the Yankees. He's up to 57 strikeouts in 155 at-bats for the year.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis went 2-for-3 with a walk and drove in the game-winning runs in Sunday night's victory over the Braves.

Davis is still in danger of being sent down, but should avoid a demotion for now. He came through with a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning to lead the Mets to a 4-2 win. Davis had six strikeouts in his last 14 at-bats going into Sunday and is still hitting just .158/.246/.250 for the season.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Mets manager Terry Collins wondered aloud Saturday if it was time to option Ike Davis to Triple-A Las Vegas.

"When you see what he did (Friday) night, you say to yourself, ‘Is this the time? Is now the time?’" Collins said. Collins was referring to Davis' four-strikeout performance on Friday, which preceded him striking out as a pinch-hitter Saturday. He was able to single Saturday in the completion of Friday's suspended contest, but it's just one of two hits in his last 44 at-bats and he is now hitting .148/.234/.242 for the season. Andy Martino of the New York Daily News has reported that a demotion could come after this weekend.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis struck out as a pinch-hitter on Saturday.

The 26-year-old first baseman went 1-for-5 with four strikeouts during Friday's rain-suspended game and is now batting .144/.228/.235 with 58 whiffs this year. The Mets are going to have to demote Davis soon.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

A source told Andy Martino of the New York Daily News that the Mets could demote Ike Davis after this weekend's three-game series against the Braves.

The Mets have been answering questions about a Davis demotion for weeks and may have finally reached the breaking point. The 26-year-old first baseman went 0-for-2 on Wednesday and is batting just .147 with a .482 OPS and 49 strikeouts through his first 42 games this season. He has one hit in his last 38 plate appearances.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis went 0-for-2 with two walks on Wednesday and had a couple of key miscues in the field in the Mets' loss to the Reds on Wednesday.

Neither play went as an error, but they both could be considered mental errors. In the seventh, Davis stayed back on a grounder rather than charge it, allowing the runner to score from third and giving the Reds a 4-2 lead. In the ninth, with the score tied 4-4, Davis elected to let a grounder go down the line, figuring it would curl foul. It didn't, giving Brandon Phillips an RBI double. In Davis' defense, the ball really did seem likely to go foul and the Reds almost certainly would have scored the go-ahead run had he handled it. In truth, Davis' decision looked much worse than it was, but since it turned out so badly, it's more fuel for those who want him demoted.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis was removed in a double-switch after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Monday against the Reds.

Worse, he made a boneheaded play in the first, getting called for interference and giving two baserunners extra bases. The Mets have been extremely patient with Davis, but one wonders just how much longer that can last.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis is batting sixth for the Mets on Monday.

The Mets have tried moving Davis back to cleanup in an effort to change his mindset and get his bat going, but it hasn't worked. The 26-year-old first baseman is batting just .156/.238/.259 through 40 games this season.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis was told Saturday by Mets general manager Sandy Alderson that a demotion is not imminent.

ESPN New York reported Saturday morning that there were intensifying internal discussions about sending the struggling first baseman to Triple-A, but Davis got the vote of confidence on Saturday afternoon directly from the man who would make that decision. Davis estimated that he has about a month to turn it around.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

ESPN New York reports that the Mets have "intensified" discussions about potentially demoting Ike Davis.

Davis was able to snap a six game hitless streak Friday, but he may not have more than this weekend's series against the Cubs to prove he deserves to avoid a demotion. If Davis is sent down, the Mets are expected to call up Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace him on the active roster. Davis is batting .160/.245/.267 with four home runs in 38 games this season.
