Longtime Triple-A backstop Taylor Davis could see his time with the Chicago Cubs draw to a close, at least in the interim, despite his excellent work behind the dish over the last month or so. Why? Because Victor Caratini recovered more quickly than expected from his broken hamate bone and could come off the IL as early as Thursday.
In particular, Davis seemed to gel with right-hander Yu Darvish during his time with the big league club. The duo worked together in Wednesday’s extra-inning loss, which marked Darvish’s best outing as a Cub.
