Davis (calf) will be in Thursday's starting lineup for the Mets.

Analysis:

After playing in a couple of minor league games, Davis (calf) will make his return to the Mets' lineup for the first time in three weeks. The 26-year-old first baseman looks as if he will be ready for Opening Day, but is still locked in a position battle with teammate Lucas Duda.
