Davis (elbow) is expected to rejoin the Royals before the end of August, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports. "He's feeling better," manager Ned Yost said. "He's totally symptom-free, playing catch, extending it out."

Davis was placed on the DL with a retroactive date of July 28 due to a right forearm strain, a recurrence of the same injury that sidelined him earlier in the season. The Royals have been taking a more conservative approach with their closer's recovery this time around. Since he's already throwing off flat ground, Davis will need to progress to a bullpen session before facing hitters in batting practice and then perhaps embarking on a rehab assignment.
