Khris Davis recently received a death threat via Twitter.

Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said the threat was turned over to Major League Baseball security. He said the team was told the situation had been "handled."

Davis says he got the threat in mid-May when the Brewers were in Chicago to play the Cubs. He referred to the matter as a "distraction."

The 26-year-old is hitting .244/.283/.467 in 47 games this season.
