J.D. Davis lost his job for a few days, but when he landed on his feet, he did so at the opposite end of the standings and on a much bigger stage.on Sunday to bolster the middle of their hurting lineup, he arrived at Citi Field on Tuesday as part of a first-place team and started at first base in the first iteration of the Subway Series .
J.D. Davis reacts after striking out during the first inning of the Yankees’ opening game against the Mets at Citi Field.They were already expected to be in the market for a corner infielder by next month’s trade deadline, but in the meantime, Davis will get a runway to see if he can be a helpful piece for them.
“I want him to get here and get settled, get comfortable,” Boone said. “But hopefully just a presence. Right-handed presence, see him in there a lot probably against left-handed pitching.” “It’s exciting to go from a team that was just sub-.500 and now a team that’s going for a division, going for a pennant and always looking to win a World Series,” Davis said. “Whenever you’re a part of that, it’s only energizing and motivating for you to come in and be your best player.”
