Evan Gattis

Evan Gattis out of Astros' lineup Thursday night

Houston Astros catcher Evan Gattis is not in the team's lineup for Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

After going 1-for-4 as the team's designated hitter last night, Gattis will take a breather for Houston. George Springer replaces him in the lineup as Jose Altuve shifts to serve as the DH.

With 7 home runs to date, Gattis is projected for 15 home runs and a .262 average over the rest of the year.
