Decker signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Decker compiled a solid .271/.407/.458 slash line across 15 games with Triple-A Gwinnett before being cut loose by the Braves. He figures to serve as organizational outfield depth for the Nationals.

Decker was reassigned to minor-league spring training on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Decker agreed to a minor-league deal with the Braves that included a spring training invite this offseason, but the veteran outfielder wasn't able put together a strong enough camp to place himself into the Opening Day roster consideration. Decker hit just .212 this spring (7-for-33) and struck out in over one-third of his at-bats. He'll begin the 2018 campaign in the minors.

Decker agreed to a minor-league contract with the Braves on Thursday that includes an invite to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old made appearances in the majors each of the past five seasons, but he hasn't impressed much in any of those stints. Decker's biggest calling card is his ability to get on base, as he holds an 11.5 percent walk rate for his career. However, his high strikeout numbers and inability to hit for average in the big leagues largely limits his value to that of a Quad-A outfielder.

Decker cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old failed to impress in 62 plate appearances with the big club (.200/.322/.260). Decker will serve as organizational depth while hoping to earn an opportunity later in the season.

Decker was designated for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Through 62 plate appearances this season, Decker is slashing a paltry .200/.322/.260. The 27-year-old has never had much success at the plate during his brief stints in the majors, as evidenced by his .174 career batting average. If another team fails to claim the outfielder off of waivers, he'll likely settle in at Triple-A Nashville.

Decker will bat seventh and start in center field against the Angels, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Decker smacked two hits Thursday against the Twins, and then went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during his start Saturday. Rajai Davis will take a seat, as Oakland faces right-hander Ricky Nolasco.

Decker went 2-for-2 with a run and a walk in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old opened the game in the starting lineup, and although he was eventually pinch hit for by Rajai Davis, he managed to snap out of a prolonged slump before exiting. After hitting safely in his first four starts, Decker had subsequently gone 2-for-27 over the subsequent eight games in which he'd logged at least one official at-bat. However, despite Thursday's production, his line remains a subpar .227/.358/.295, and now that Davis is back from the disabled list, his playing time figures to remain sporadic.

Decker is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Decker has settled into the leadoff role for the last seven games while Rajai Davis (hamstring) has been sidelined, but he hasn't really impressed in that capacity, going 2-for-26 with 12 strikeouts. He'll hit the pine Sunday in favor of Ryan LaMarre, and could soon be bound for a permanent role on the bench with Davis expected to come off the disabled list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Twins.

Decker went 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has now reached safely in seven of the nine games he's played this season, and he's done it on multiple occasions within four of those contests. Decker is projected for a string of starts in place of Rajai Davis (hamstring), meaning he'll have a chance to build on the solid .280/.419/.400 line he's compiled over his first 33 plate appearances.

Decker will man center field and hit leadoff in Friday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Decker will enter the lineup in place of Rajai Davis, who is getting a night off Friday. Decker has played sparingly this season, but he does own a .400 batting average, two extra-base hits, and a stolen base over 17 plate appearances.
