Gattis said Tuesday he's "done playing" professionally on the '755 is Real' podcast with David O'Brien of The Athletic and Eric O'Flaherty.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old indicated in October he wasn't pursuing a return to MLB, so it's hardly a surprise to see he's hung up his cleats. Gattis had a .248/.300/.476 slash line with 139 home runs and 410 RBI across six major-league seasons between Atlanta and Houston.

Gattis indicated Tuesday that he hasn't officially retired from professional baseball, but he admitted he's not actively pursuing a return to the game, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports. "I don't even know if I could play, but right now I don't want to," Gattis said.

EDGE Analysis

After failing to receive a qualifying offer from the Astros following the 2018 season, Gattis didn't end up signing with another team, even though minor-league contract offers were most likely presented to him. The 33-year-old could always change his mind and stage a comeback, but there probably won't be much of a market for a player with no defensive value who spent a full year away from the game. Gattis spent six seasons in the majors, slashing .248/.300/.476 with 139 home runs between stops in Atlanta and Houston.

Gattis did not receive the $17.9 million qualifying offer from Houston on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis slashed .226/.284/.452 with 25 home runs and 78 RBI in 128 games for the Astros this past season during his fourth year with the organization. He will now hit the free-agent market after making $6.7 million in 2018. Gattis only made a couple appearances behind the plate this season, so it's likely that he will try to find a home in the American League in order to utilize the designated hitter's position.

Gattis went 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

After going hitless in 16 at-bats, Gattis has erupted for five hits over seven at-bats in games Saturday and Sunday. Prior to his two-game uprising, Gattis had appeared in just 11 of 28 games, as a slump coincided with the hot bat of Tyler White, who took over as the primary designated hitter. Injuries to Carlos Correa (back) and George Springer (thumb, leg) may lead to some at-bats for Gattis over the final week, but he remains in a bench role.

Gattis went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis provided a two-run homer in the fourth inning off starter Jake Odorizzi. The 32-year-old is hitting just .231 and has seen his grip on regular playing time all but disappear, but he's now gone deep 25 times and has 73 RBI, so he can still be dangerous when he does get the starting nod.

Gattis is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis will hit the bench for the fourth straight game as he is 4-for-38 in his last 14 games. Tyler White garners another start at designated hitter, as Gattis' hold on the starting job appears to be waning.

Gattis is not in Friday's lineup against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis will remain on the bench for the third straight game, as Tyler White is set to serve as the designated hitter. Over his last 10 games, Gattis has struggled to a .118/.139/.382 slash line.

Gattis is out of the lineup versus Seattle on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis will take a seat for the second straight game as Tyler White gets the nod at the DH spot. Through 110 games this year, Gattis is hitting .232 with a .772 OPS and 71 RBI.

Gattis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis started the last eight games, going 4-for-28 in 30 plate appearances, although three of those hits were home runs. The 32-year-old is slashing .202/.260/.474 since the start of July, finding little consistency besides the nine home runs in 127 plate appearances.

Gattis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis took Sean Manaea deep in the fourth inning for his 24th home run of the season. He ended a three-week homer drought on Wednesday, and now has three longballs in his past four games. Even given that slump, he is leading catcher-eligible players in home runs this season, making him a key asset for the stretch run in any league format.
