Following Atlanta, Davidson had stints with the Los Angeles Angels, Kansas City Royals ad Baltimore Orioles over five total MLB seasons.

Davidson could be a good option for the Phillies to call up at some point before the end of the season.
While he hasn’t had a good season in Triple-A, he is an ideal pitcher to have for depth in case of injuries.
