Davis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals.

Analysis:

Davis will take a seat with southpaw Danny Duffy on the hill, giving way for Mark Canha to play first base and Cody Ross to take over in left field. Over his career, Davis owns an OPS that is 234 points lower against left-handed pitching, so the move makes sense from a matchup standpoint.
