Marlins’ Jonathan Davis To Miss 3-6 Months Due To Meniscus Surgery

By Anthony Franco | July 6, 2023 at 3:25pm CDT

July 6: Marlins manager Skip Schumaker tells Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald that the recovery time for Davis is three to six months, meaning his season is likely over.

July 5: Marlins outfielder Jonathan Davis suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee, the club informed reporters (including Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase). While it’s not a tear, he will need to undergo surgery to address the issue tomorrow.

Davis was injured yesterday while manning center field. He dove for a Tommy Edman line drive and landed awkwardly on his knee. The club called for a cart to take him off the field. Rookie Dane Myers replaced him in center field yesterday and got his first major league start there this evening.

The timetable for Davis’ return isn’t clear. Miami placed him on the 10-day injured list before tonight’s dramatic win over the Cardinals, initially calling the injury a knee sprain. He’ll obviously be out beyond that minimum stay but the club didn’t provide many further specifics.

The Fish acquired Davis from the Tigers in late May. He had a chance at regular center field work once Jazz Chisholm Jr. went down with an oblique strain, making his own injury particularly frustrating. Known more for his speed and defense than his bat, Davis has suited up 34 times for Miami on the season. He’s hitting .244/.307/.378 with two homers in a career-high 104 trips to the plate.

    Damn. I really liked this guy. He is just a baseball player; you could tell immediately. Not a great baserunner, in my opinion, but does at least a little of everything else, and plays hard. It’s a little reminiscent of when they got De La Cruz. They went on their run basically with him in CF. Phenomenal smile too. Very unfortunate, especially in what was a 7-0 game at the time

    I’m hoping to see the young guys get opportunity before the deadline, but they’re keeping Segura in there, and brought Hampson back. Myers has been really good in the minor leagues for them, and has been very interesting in his first game and half on both sides already.

    Hopefully Davis will be able to come back strong from this at some point b/c he took a lot of advantage of this opportunity, and deserves another look when he gets back

      Yeah, disappointing to lose Davis. Curious to see what Myers does with this opportunity. Looks good in just a couple of games, but we’ll see what he has once teams figure him out.

      The Marlins will need to address some depth at CF at the deadline.

    Detroit had no offense last year (still doesn’t) and Avila shipped a 4A player, Trayce Thompson, to the Dodgers. New GM, but Harris does the same with Davis. He won’t call up Parker Meadows, so we have Marisnick patrolling CF with his Mendoza bat. .244 would put Davis as one of the top 3 hitters on the team.

      On an OPS basis, Davis is slightly behind Marisnick, and well behind other Tiger outfielders, believe it or not. He is part-time pending the return of Riley Greene and then Jake is gone. That leaves Greene, Baddoo, Carpenter, and Vierling in the OF, excluding INF’s posing as OF’s like McKinstry, Ibanez, and Nevin. Parker Meadows had a weak start to his AAA debut season, but has been improving. Let him continue to improve. He’s just 23 and we’ve seen in Greene and Torkelson what rushing a guy to MLB can do if they’re not ready. I think Meadows will get some playing time in Detroit this year, but don’t rush it.

        Still, it doesn’t change what I said. The Tigers had a player they could have used at AAA, but instead sold him to another team, where he held his own. Hope Davis heals up and gets another opportunity next year.

    At least he’s got a good healthcare plan. Unlike most of us in this land of the free.

        @UWSUPER All I could afford was Trumpcare, which added up to a tablespoon of bleach and half a bottle of isopropyl alcohol.

      I guess Jonathan Davis will be following the leader into next season.

    Cards should trade Hicks for that terrible play.

    Mr.180 is a great guy. Saw him with the Brewers always giving his all. Can run, play defense, and steal bases. Hit he cannot do. Classic 4 A player. Glad he did well! Good luck in his recovery!

    Time for the Marlins to bite the bullet and trade some prospects to rent Cody Bellinger. Get into the playoffs and let next year sort itself out.
