Gattis is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis will head to the bench for the sixth time in seven games, although that was mostly due to a National League road trip that prevented the usage of a designated hitter. Tyler White will serve as DH, batting seventh, against Mike Leake and the Mariners.

Gattis is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis will stick on the bench for a fifth straight game with the Astros once again playing in a National League ballpark with no designated hitter available. Look for the slugger to rejoin the lineup when the Astros return home to face the Mariners on Thursday.

Gattis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With no designated hitter available at Dodger Stadium, Gattis will be relegated to bench role for the third straight day. Gattis made a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 14-0 win, plating a run on a sacrifice fly.

Gattis is out of the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis has only started once in the field this season. With the weekend series being playing at Dodger Stadium under National League rules, expect Gattis to be limited to pinch-hit duty for all three games.

Gattis is not in the lineup against the Dodgers on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis will take a seat on the bench since the Astros won't have the services of a designated hitter during their three-game set in Los Angeles. Since Gattis has only logged one start all year outside of the DH spot -- he caught against the White Sox in April -- don't expect to see him utilized outside of a pinch-hitting role this weekend.

Gattis went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis helped break a 1-1 tie with his two-run shot in the sixth inning, and Houston wouldn't relinquish the lead the rest of the way. The 31-year-old's bat cooled off a bit earlier in the month, but he's now 7-for-19 (.368) with a pair of home runs over his last five games and remains on track for the second 30-homer campaign of his career.

Gattis went 3-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It's his first multi-hit performance since July 7, and Gattis' .214 (12-for-56) batting average on the month is reminiscent of his early-season struggles. He does have five homers and 10 RBI in 16 games, however, and Friday's blast was his 20th of the year -- the fifth time in six seasons he's hit that mark.

Gattis is not in Wednesday's lineup against Colorado, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Astros playing in a National League park, Gattis will remain on the bench sans the use of a designated hitter. Look for him to return to the starting lineup Friday against Texas.

Gattis is out of Tuesday's lineup in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Without the designated hitter available to them for this series, Gattis figures to only start if he catches, and Max Stassi is setting up behind the dish in this one. The Astros have one more game Wednesday in Colorado before an off day and then a weekend series at home against the Rangers.

Gattis is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis
