Jaff Decker Placed on the Indianapolis DL

After Jaff Decker got injured on April 14, he tried to play through a bruise and a sprain to his right hand, but eventually succumbed to the ailment about a week and a half ago. Since then, Decker has remained in an inactive state on the roster, but not on the disabled list. That changed today when he was placed on the Indianapolis DL, retroactive April 27th.

Decker was sporting a protective covering over the hand during batting practice, but advised that the injury is progressing on Wednesday. However, he is still not able to get on the field, as the last game that he has played was on April 20.
