Astros manager A.J. Hinch said he wants to use Gattis in left field at least once during the upcoming series at San Diego, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports. Gattis, who is considered a poor defender both behind the plate and in left field, returned to the Astros' lineup Sunday and hit a go-ahead two-run double in the ninth inning to lead them to a 7-6 win over the A's. He had two hits in the game and drove in four runs altogether. "I'm glad to finally contribute to a win, to come through with the go-ahead runs. I'm glad to have hit it, first of all." Gattis said of Tyler Clippard's neck-high fastball that he drove over the head of Sam Fuld in center field. The 28-year-old is hitting .156/.194/.250 with a home run, five RBI and a 22:3 K:BB ratio over 64 at-bats this season.
