Oakland invited Davidson to spring training as a non-roster player in 2020, but he did not play a minor league game due to the cancellation of the season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] He was assigned to the Midland RockHounds of the Double-A Central in 2021, slashing .212/.307/.313 with seven home runs and 48 RBI over 119 games.[12] After the 2021 regular season, he earned a spot playing for the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League.[13]

The Athletics invited Davidson to spring training as a non-roster player in 2022.[14] He returned to Midland for the 2022 season,[15] playing in 111 games and hitting .252/.337/.406 with 14 home runs, 56 RBI, and four stolen bases. The Athletics also invited Davidson to spring training as a non-roster player in 2023.[16] He was assigned to the Las Vegas Aviators of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League during the regular season, splitting time between them and Midland; in 109 total games, he batted .279/.355/.426 with 10 home runs, 59 RBI, and six stolen bases.[17]

Davidson split the 2024 season between Triple-A Las Vegas and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Athletics. In 90 appearances for the two affiliates, he slashed .303/.373/.543 with 15 home runs, 54 RBI, and seven stolen bases.[18]

Davidson began the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Las Vegas, playing in 41 contests and hitting .303/.452/.428 with two home runs, 22 RBI, and seven stolen bases. On May 23, 2025, Davidson was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[19] In nine appearances for the Athletics, he went 3-for-20 (.150) with two RBI and three walks.
