Astros taking on Oakland without Evan Gattis
Houston Astros catcher Evan Gattis is not in Monday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
Jason Castro will take over behind the plate for Houston, with A.J. Reed owning DH responsibilities against Oakland right-hander Kendall Graveman. Gattis has struggled to a .147 average (5-for-34) this month with just one home run. Alex Bregman and/or Yulieski Gourriel could pose a threat to his playing time if the struggles continue.
For the year, Gattis owns a .215/.279/.422 slash and .295 wOBA (all career-lows) in 262 plate appearances this season. He's managed to knock 13 dingers, though, with our models projecting him for nine more over the remainder of the year with a .312 wOBA.
