Stinnett, who pitched with the Pelicans in 2016 and 2017, joins the team once again on a rehab assignment. For the Birds, Stinnett was a Mid-season All-Star in 2016 as a starter in the Carolina League. Overall, he went 9-4 with a 4.27 ERA in 2016. He threw just two games out of the bullpen for Myrtle Beach in 2017. In 2018, he finished second on the Double-A Tennessee Smokies with 42 relief appearances. The University of Maryland product set a single-season record for strikeouts with the Terps in 2014 with 132.

Nance, a Pelicans-bullpen member in 2016, went 2-1 with the Birds with a 2.67 ERA. After missing all of 2017 with a right hip injury, Nance made 15 outings for Double-A Tennessee in 2018, going 1-1 with a 3.48 ERA. A non-drafted free agent signing out of Independent Baseball (the Windy City Thunderbirds) in 2016, the righty graduated from Santa Clara University in southern California.

Davis, a speedy outfielder, rejoins the Pelicans after spending seven days on the Injured List. In 2019 with Myrtle Beach, he leads the Birds with a .316 batting average and is hitting .316/.395/.500 with six stolen bases over 12 games. Last season, he split time between Myrtle Beach and Low-A South Bend, hitting .239 with the Pelicans. His 38 combined stolen bases led the Cubs organization. A Texas Tech University product, Davis played in two College World Series with the Red Raiders. Over his career, he went 30-for-33 in stolen bases and 13-for-13 as a senior.

The Pelicans roster now sits at 25 active players with two on the IL.
