Evan Gattis

Evan Gattis out of Astros' lineup for Friday

Houston Astros designated hitter Evan Gattis is not in the starting lineup on Friday.

What It Means:

Gattis is just getting a day off here, so the Astros will shuffle the defensive alignment. George Springer is at DH, Tony Kemp slides over to center field, and Kyle Tucker will enter the lineup at left field.

Our models project Gattis to bat .267 with 12 home runs, 31 runs, and 37 RBI in 234 more plate appearances over the rest of the season.
