Davis takes the roster spot of infielder/outfielder Oswald Peraza, who was optioned to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes Barre on Sunday.
Davis, 31, was acquired in a trade from the Oakland Athletics on Sunday for infielder Jordan Groshans. An eight-year major league veteran, Davis was batting .236 with four home runs and five RBIs in 39 games for Oakland this season.

In eight seasons, Davis is a career .259 hitter with 72 home runs and 220 RBIs in 633 games with four clubs, including a .278 batting average over four seasons with the Mets, with 37 home runs and 120 RBIs. He hit 22 home runs with 57 RBIs in 2019 for the Mets.
