Cubs #1 Prospect Brennen Davis Leaves Game After Getting Drilled On Right Knee
STOP HITTING BRENNEN DAVIS!
The Cubs #1 prospect and consensus top-15 prospect in MLB was taken out of Monday’s spring training game against the Reds after he was drilled on the right knee. Davis was the second consecutive batter to get hit by Reds’ pitcher Graham Ashcraft.
Davis initially stayed in the game after he was checked out by a team trainer, but after a fielder’s choice that moved Davis to second base the Cubs opted to remove the outfielder from the game.
now he's taken out, hopefully just a sore knee, but it's unreal the bad luck Davis has had with HBPs https://t.co/Pa8PANQgbV

On a Sergio Alcántara groundout, Davis was still favoring the knee as he ran around and stopped at second base. Now subbed for a pinch-runner. https://t.co/JAytp8xKcp

Davis has had an unbelievable run of bad luck with HBPs, missing time in the minors after getting hit on the wrist on multiple occasions.
Hopefully the removal of Davis on Monday is only precautionary, but at the very least he’s going to be walking around with a very sore knee for the next several days.

UPDATE
For now the Cubs say Davis is day-to-day with a bruised right knee.
Top prospect Brennen Davis is day-to-day with a right knee contusion, #Cubs announce, after he was hit by a pitch in the 2nd inning.

Fingers crossed that he’s all right and there’s damage after a few days of rest.
