Davis' 143 home runs since the start of the
start of the 2016 season are the most in baseball over that span
-- 19 more than second-place Giancarlo Stanton.
Davis, acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers in a 2016 trade, has
a league-leading 10 home runs in 77 at-bats this season. Home
runs have become the 31-year-old's niche, as Davis has produced
three consecutive 40-plus homer seasons since joining the A's.
--The Detroit Tigers placed left fielder Christin Stewart on the
10-day injured list due to a strained quadriceps muscle.
Stewart, 25, sustained the injury Tuesday while running the
bases in the ninth inning of the Tigers' 5-3 loss to the
Pittsburgh Pirates. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but
bruising and soreness limited his mobility.
Stewart is batting .222 with three homers and a team-high 13
RBIs through 16 games. The Tigers recalled infielder/outfielder
Brandon Dixon from Triple-A Toledo to fill the vacant roster
spot.
--The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Lucas Giolito on
the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring, the club
announced.
Giolito, 24, sustained the injury Wednesday during the third
inning of his outing against the Kansas City Royals. He had
thrown 2 2/3 scoreless innings with five strikeouts to that
point. Giolito is 2-1 with a 5.30 ERA and 23 strikeouts over
four starts this season, his third with the White Sox.
The White Sox recalled outfielder Ryan Cordell and right-handed
pitcher Carson Fulmer from Triple-A Charlotte. They optioned
struggling outfielder Daniel Palka to Charlotte after
Wednesday's game.
