J.D. Davis may not return to Mets until after All-Star break (Report)

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY SportsMets third baseman/outfielder J.D. Davis has been out of major league play since May 1 due to a left-hand sprain.

J.D. Davis is inching towards a return, but it may not come until after the All-Star break has concluded.

According to MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, the Mets seemingly wish for Davis to spend more time in the minors before a potential return following the Midsummer Classic.

Sounds like the Mets are leaning toward not activating J.D. Davis (left hand sprain/inflammation) prior to the All-Star break. The team would like to get him more at-bats in the minors, which would set Davis up for a return immediately coming out of the break.
