Blue Jays placed OF Rajai Davis on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique.

Rajai Davis was removed from Friday's game against the Red Sox due to a strained oblique.

He appeared to tweak the oblique during his second at-bat of the game. No word yet on how much time he may miss, but oblique strains routinely lead to a trip to the disabled list.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis had two hits, two steals and two runs scored against the Rays on Thursday.

Davis is batting .291 and has eight steals in nine attempts. He's a fringe guy in mixed leagues since he's not playing every day, but he's making the most of his at-bats lately.
May 9 - 11:39 PM
Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

With Jose Bautista (back) still ailing, Davis got the start in right field and in the leadoff spot and proved to be a sparkplug. The speedy outfielder now has two straight two-hit games and has swiped four bags over the last six contests. He won't play every day once Bautista returns, but even with a few starts a week, Davis' speed makes him a worthy fantasy option.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said that rather than looking on the free agent market, he expects to fill his left field vacancy with an in-house option such as Rajai Davis or Anthony Gose.

While he has been utilized as more of a platoon option in the past, Davis has blazing speed and has swiped 171 bases in the last four seasons. Unless Gose shows in spring training that he's ready to man the position full-time, look for Davis to fill the role.

Blue Jays re-signed OF Rajai Davis to a one-year, $2.5 million contract.

The Jays declined Davis' $3 million option but will bring him back at a lesser rate. The speedster batted only .257/.309/.378 for Toronto this season but was second in the AL with 46 steals. He's expected to be used in a part-time role.

The Blue Jays remain undecided on whether or not to exercise Rajai Davis' $3 million option for 2013.

"You're looking at his option salary is $3 million, with a $500,000 buyout attached to that," general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. "So it's really a $2.5 million expense one way or the other. From that standpoint, it's just something -- he has done a good job for us, but we'll have to make a decision at the end of the year. He has been solid." If Davis does return, it's expected to be in a part-time role. He batted only .257/.309/.378 for Toronto this season but was second in the AL with 46 steals.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis singled and stole his 46th base in Wednesday's season-ending 2-1 win over the Twins.

Only Mike Trout stole more bases than Davis, whose 46 thefts will go down as the second most of his career. A nice accomplishment, though the impending free agent's .257/.309/.378 slash isn't going to make him a hot commodity on the open market.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Yankees.

Davis had a solo homer in the bottom of the first inning and an RBI single in the fifth. The speedy outfielder has seven hits in eight at-bats during the series.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis had a nice night at the dish in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees, going 4-for-4 with a double.

Davis has had another very successful season for the Blue Jays, slashing .252/.306/.372 with seven homers, 39 RBI and 45 stolen bases. He's now swiped 170 bases in his last four seasons, despite playing in just 499 games.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

Davis took Miguel Gonzalez deep for a solo bomb in the third before plating two more runs with a seventh-inning single. Davis' seventh home run of the season was his first since July 30 (33 games). Davis is batting just .245/.306/.379, though that's an improvement on his .238/.273/.350 2011 slash.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis went 3-for-4 with a double, run scored and pair of stolen bases in Tuesday's loss to the White Sox.

Though he's only had 281 at-bats this season, Davis now has 35 stolen bases, placing him second in all of baseball behind only Mike Trout. He's been especially impressive over the last few weeks, hitting .304 (28-for-92) with two homers, nine RBI and 12 swipes over his last 25 games. As long as he's playing on a nightly basis, he should be started in most formats.

Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

Rajai Davis went 0-for-4 Saturday and is now hitless in his last 23 at-bats.

It's tied for the longest drought of his career, as he also had an 0-for-23 spell last season. David has been the definition of streaky this season, as he also had a stretch last month where he went 19-for-54 (.352) at the plate. His fantasy value remains tied to his ability to swipe a base, and he's been fine in that regard, tying for second in the AL with 23.
