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.
