Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said he is hopeful Gattis (illness) can play in this weekend's series against the Rangers, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. While Gattis was said to be doing a little better Tuesday, he will stay back at the hotel again and it sounds like Gonzalez has effectively ruled him out for Wednesday's finale against Washington. The team is then off Thursday, and with the DH option available in Texas, the hope is that Gattis will be able to play even if he isn't quite at 100 percent.
