Gattis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels.
Just as he appeared to be turning a corner, an 0-for-11 stretch at the plate has depressed Gattis' batting average to .185. He's only drawn four walks this season to keep his on-base percentage at a similarly paltry .212, making it increasingly difficult for the Astros to trust him as a regular lineup option. Manager A.J. Hinch will shield Gattis on Sunday from a tough right-hander in Garrett Richards, allowing Preston Tucker to slot in as the Astros' designated hitter.

Gattis hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first inning to drive home Jose Altuve and he doubled later in the game for his only hit of the night in three at-bats. After a brutal start to his 2015 campaign, the Astros' DH has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games with a whopping 17 RBI over that span.
