Gattis is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
With the Astros giving leadoff man George Springer a day out of the outfield and deploying him as designated hitter, there won't be any room for Gattis. The day off won't ruin what has been a productive series for the 31-year-old, who went 5-for-12 with three extra-base hits, five RBI and three runs over the first three games against the White Sox.

Gattis went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Gattis supplied all the Astros' offense, as he went deep in the seventh and ninth inning. The 31-year-old went 4-for-16 with seven strikeouts during Houston's latest four-game series against Tampa Bay. Gattis sits with 17 home runs and 56 RBI through 75 games this season.

Gattis went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Gattis has turned in a month for the record books, literally. The three RBI give him 30 for the month of June, establishing a new franchise record for RBI in a month. Jose Cruz (1984) and Jimmy Wynn (1967) shared the previous record of 29. Gattis has been the comeback story of the season for the Astros. His role as the designated hitter was in peril mid-May, when he was sitting on a .191 batting average with one home run and eight RBI.

Gattis is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The American League Player of the Week last week, Gattis has followed up by going 2-for-15 with a double in his last five games. Gattis has made two appearances at catcher this season but still has not started a game behind the plate, and it doesn't seem like the Astros have any intention to play him there more moving forward even with Brian McCann struggling.

Gattis is not in the lineup Monday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Gattis will get the day off after making 15 straight starts. The veteran slugger hit .300/.317/.683 with seven homers over that stretch. George Springer will start at designated hitter Monday, with Tony Kemp getting a start in center field.

Gattis went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a 7-4 win over the Royals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
At the end of April, Gattis was hitting just .200 with one home run. Now, the 31-year-old slugger owns a .255/.311/.510 slash line with 14 homers and 47 RBI. He has seven multi-hit performances so far in June while striking out just 12 times. It looks like Gattis will reach the 20-homer mark for the fifth time in his six MLB seasons.

EDGE Analysis
Gattis hit a go-ahead home run -- his 14th of the year -- with the bases loaded off starter Jake Junis in the sixth inning, and later slashed a double off reliever Justin Grimm in the eighth. The multi-hit game was Gattis' sixth in his last nine contests, bringing his batting average to the .250 mark on the year. The 31-year-old leads his ball club with 46 RBI and a .515 slugging percentage.

Gattis went 2-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Gattis was part of a second-inning wrecking crew that obliterated Oakland's early lead. After Carlos Correa tied the game with a homer, three batters Gattis gave the Astros the lead permanently with a three-run shot, his third in the last six games. He later chased A's starter Daniel Mengden with a fifth-inning double that knocked in two more. The bearded, burly designated hitter, who had been in danger of losing his job in last month, turned his season around May 12, in a nondescript game against the last-place Rangers, when he hit his second homer of the year. Since that night, Gattis is hitting .287 (25-for-87) with 10 home runs, 29 RBI and 17 runs over 25 games.
