Athletics' Matt Joyce: Out of Saturday's lineup

Joyce is out of Saturday's lineup against the Astros.

Analysis:

It has been a miserable start to the season for Joyce, as he is hitting just .161/.229/.290 with two home runs in 62 at-bats. It's rare to see him out of the lineup against a right-hander, but that is the case in this game against Joe Musgrove, with Jaff Decker getting the start in right field and leading off. Joyce seems to be the victim of bad luck more than anything else, as his .163 BABIP is over 100 points below his career mark of .278.
