Jaff Decker

Jaff Decker finished 2-for-2 with a walk in limited action in Oakland's 8-5 win over Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact

Decker had a couple singles and a walk, coming around to score in Oakland's big second inning before being lifted for Rajai Davis in the seventh. Despite the solid game, Decker is still a fantasy non-factor slashing 227/.358/.295 with no home runs, one RBI and one steal in 44 at-bats.

Jaff Decker went hitless in five trips with a pair of strikeouts in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Since starting his year on a nice roll atop the A's lineup, Dacker has now gone hitless in back-to-back games going 2-for-20 during Oakland's five game skid. With Rajai Davis shelved with a left hamstring strain, the A's don't have many options to head their lineup but fortunately fantasy owners do.

Jaff Decker, making just his second start of the season, doubled off of Yu Darvish in the sixth inning before coming around to score the go ahead run.

Fantasy Impact

Decker is making a case for more at-bats. He struck out twice on the night but his timely double following Adam Rosales' game-tying two run shot set up the go ahead run that would eventually stand as the game-winner. Decker is batting ninth today against Martín Pérez and the Rangers.

Jaff Decker will get the start atop the A's lineup in Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Scorching hot through Spring Training and through eight games at Triple-A, Decker hit the ground running by going 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base while manning center field in his first MLB action of the year. That has earned him a start leading off the A's lineup tonight with Rajai Davis struggling to get anything going. Keep an eye on this situation in case he continues to cut into Davis' playing time.
