Gattis had his option for the 2017 season picked up by the Astros on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis blasted a career-high 32 home runs in 2016, leading the Astros to bring him back for another season in Houston. It's unclear whether they plan for him to primarily catch or DH during the 2017 season, but regardless of his role, he has a good chance of continuing his high-power ways while he stays in Texas.
