A's Third Baseman J.D. Davis Set to Begin Rehab Stint Author: Jason Burke Apr 28, 2024 SACRAMENTO -- Oakland A's third baseman J.D. Davis, currently on the IL, is in Sacramento with the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators and will officially join the roster ahead of Sunday's game against the River Cats. Davis, on the IL since April 15 with a right adductor strain, had started the season hot, batting .364 with four extra-base hits in the A's first two series of the season, but then cooled off quite a bit in the following three series against the Tigers, Rangers, and Nationals. J.D. Davis has seen 26 pitches so far this series. All 26 have been four-seam fastballs. He's 0-for-5 with 3 K's. — Jason Burke
