What can the Braves expect from Tucker Davidson?

After a roaring three starts in Gwinnett in which he had a 0.90 ERA and a three start run with Atlanta in which he had a 1.53 ERA that scenario seemed very likely. Unfortunately for Davidson, a rough start in Boston led to forearm inflammation which sent him to the injured list. It was a stint that ultimately put him on the 60-day injured list and ended his season at the major league level. Ended until now, that is, as Charlie Morton’s injury (link) forced the Braves to go one pitcher deeper on their roster. Davidson was their choice, and given how he pitched earlier in the season it’s fair to say there’s some hope he can give them solid innings now in the World Series.
