Davis is confident he'll be available on Opening Day after an MRI on his left shoulder revealed no serious injuries Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

A player's optimism about his own timeline is nothing new and certainly shouldn't be taken as gospel, but the Mets don't appear to be overly worried, calling the issue simply a jammed shoulder. Davis figures to factor into the mix at third base and left field this season after hitting .307/.369/.527 with 22 homers in 453 plate appearances last year.

Robinson (elbow) will serve as the Giants' designated hitter and bat ninth in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Brewers, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Though Robinson won't see any defensive work Wednesday, he previously saw action at second base and right field in his prior two spring appearances. As such, it appears safe to conclude that he's reasonably healthy after requiring progressive Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in August. Robinson is attending camp as a non-roster invitee and will compete for a utility spot on the Giants' Opening Day roster.

Davis' MRI on his jammed left shoulder didn't show much inflammation or any new structural damage Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Davis left Tuesday's game against the Tigers after diving for a groundball, but he seems to have escaped without serious injury. The MRI did reveal a previous injury to Davis' shoulder that the Mets and Davis apparently both didn't know about, but that issue hasn't produced any previous symptoms and doesn't appear to be a major worry. Despite the good news, it remains unclear when Davis will return to game action.

Anderson (hand) will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson exited early in Monday's contest against the Cardinals after being struck on the hand by a pitch, but he was fortunate to escape without any structural damage. After taking Tuesday off while waiting for the soreness to subside, Anderson is ready to reclaim his usual spot in the field and batting order.

Senzel (shoulder) isn't yet ready for game action, but is getting closer while working through his throwing program, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

We still don't have a specific date for his projected Cactus League debut, but all the emphasis right now is on Senzel working on throwing. "We're focusing so much on his throwing progression that we'll add [hitting] in quickly," manager David Bell said. "It's not that he can't do it. We're letting him focus all his energy on getting his arm healthy."

Davis jammed his left shoulder Tuesday diving for a groundball in the fifth inning against the Tigers, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post.

Davis received encouraging news following an examination by the Tigers' team doctor, who found no labrum or rotator cuff damage. The 26-year-old is scheduled to have an MRI exam on his left shoulder Wednesday.

Davis left Tuesday's game against the Tigers in the fifth inning. The nature and severity of the injury are not yet known, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Davis dove to his left to field a groundball before laying motionless on the ground for a few moments, according to eyewitness accounts, then spent some time being tended to by a trainer. The 26-year-old was able to walk off the field under his own power. Davis projects as the Mets' primary left fielder to open the 2020 season, but continues to receive significant reps at third base, his natural position, this spring.

Anderson said he's fine after being hit by a pitch on the left hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Anderson was struck by a Ryan Helsley fastball during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, but thanks to a protective pad he was able to avoid a more serious injury. While the 26-year-old may miss a couple of games as a result, the issue shouldn't affect his buildup for the start of the season.

Anderson left Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals after being hit by a pitch on his left hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Anderson was hit by the pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning, and he was immediately replaced in the game by Christian Lopes. Anderson also missed the final month of the 2019 season with a left finger injury that he sustained in late August. The exact nature and severity of Monday's injury are unclear.

Segura played at third base for the first time in his career Sunday against the Pirates, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Segura was tested often Sunday as seven balls headed in his direction. He made a majority of the plays but misplayed a couple of groundballs -- one of which resulted in a run-scoring single. After the contest, Segura said he was rushing a bit but is confident that he will get used to the new position.
