Gattis (sports hernia) has been taking dry swings in recent days, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gattis is expected to be sidelined for most of spring training following surgery to address a sports hernia, so his activities figure to be limited over the next few weeks. It may take until deep into the spring before Gattis starts taking batting practice again, which puts his status for the beginning of the season on murky ground.
