Not a big move obviously.

Presumably, Davidson is optioned or DFA after the game for McDermott, Rogers, or Houser tomorrow.

No. It’s Bowman. Bullpen game.

Makes sense.

Why would we do a bullpen game and not just start this guy or bring up Rogers to start?

It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.
