Davis (illness) is not in the lineup for the Wild Card game against the Giants.

Analysis:

Davis had to leave the Pirates' regular season finale with flu-like symptoms, which may be the same issue that is holding him out of Wednesday's game, though the Giants are starting lefty Madison Bumgarner and Davis probably would have sat anyway. Regardless, Davis is on the roster so he may be available off the bench, but Gaby Sanchez will get the start in first in his place, batting seventh.
