Padres optioned OF Jaff Decker to Double-A San Antonio.

Jaff Decker - OF - Padres

Padres purchased the contract of OF Jaff Decker from Double-A San Antonio.

Decker missed time with injury in 2012 and wound up batting only .184/.365/.293 at Double-A. The on-base skills are still there, but he hasn't progressed as much at the plate as hoped. The Padres obviously aren't ready to give up on him, though, since they've protected him from the Rule 5 Draft.

Jaff Decker - OF - Padres

Jaff Decker homered and doubled in Friday's win over the Angels.

One of the top prospects in perhaps the game's top farm system, Decker is now batting .357 with four extra-base hits through his first 14 spring at-bats. Decker will begin the year in either Double or Triple-A after hitting .236/.373/.417 in 613 plate appearances for Double-A San Antonio last season.

Jaff Decker - OF - Padres

21-year-old Jaff Decker homered and doubled twice Tuesday for Double-A San Antonio.

It's too bad he's looking at a future in Petco Park, but Decker is a very promising hitter. He's started off his Double-A career at .375/.516/.833 with two steals in six games. Maybe he won't be a 20-homer guy for the Padres, but he should be a nice regular in time. A September callup is a possibility.

C	1	Yasmani Grandal Suspended Yasmani Grandal will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Tucson. Grandal is still serving his 50-game suspension for a positive PED test, but he is allowed to begin a 10-game minor league assignment. The 24-year-old backstop is eligible to join the Padres on May 28 and may split playing time with Nick Hundley upon his return. May 15

	2	Logan Forsythe D.L. Logan Forsythe (foot) took batting practice on the field Thursday. It's the first time he's done so since plantar fasciitis in his right foot sent him to the DL prior to the season. Forsythe also took ground balls before Thursday's game. "He's on the field doing baseball activities stuff, so he's on the way back," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's on the mend." The team hasn't revealed a timetable for Forsythe, but he should be ready sometime next month if all goes well. May 16

CF	1	Cameron Maybin D.L. Cameron Maybin (wrist) hit in the batting cages on Thursday. It's the first time he's done so since he landed on the disabled list last month with a right wrist impingement. The Padres aren't sure what the next step is for the outfielder, but Maybin said the session went "way, way better" than he expected. "I'm excited," Maybin said. "It's tough watching, but it's also been great watching how great the team has been playing. I'm eager to get back in the mix." May 16

	2	Clayton Richard D.L. Clayton Richard (illness) will make a second rehab start with Triple-A Tucson. Richard struck out eight over six innings of one-run ball Thursday for Tucson, but the Padres want him to have another tune-up. "He feels good about where he is right now, how his arm feels and how he feels physically in general, from the whole bad virus he contracted," manager Bud Black said. Assuming Richard feels fine in his next outing, he could rejoin the rotation as soon as next weekend. May 16

	7	Cory Luebke D.L. Cory Luebke (elbow) has had his throwing program stopped for the second time this year in his attempt to return from Tommy John surgery. Luebke was shut down in early March before resuming sessions of catch on April 1, and he had progressed to throwing off a mound before this latest setback. Obviously none of this bodes well for his mission to return to live major league games by the All-Star break. May 18
	8	Joe Wieland D.L. Joe Wieland (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday at the Padres' spring training complex. Wieland, currently on the 60-day disabled list, is nine months removed from Tommy John surgery and will continued to be moved along slowly. If he can avoid setbacks, Wieland should be game-ready sometime after the All-Star break. Apr 27
	9	Casey Kelly D.L. Padres placed LHP Casey Kelly on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury. Kelly will undergo Tommy John surgery during the first week of April. Obviously, he won't be making any contribution this season. Mar 31
