Gattis went hit-less in three at-bats, walked once and struck out twice in Thursday's 4-1 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Since joining the Astros in 2015, Gattis' plate appearances have decreased each successive season, but he's expected turn that trend around. He'll have a regular gig this year, serving as Houston's primary designated hitter. He should slot in anywhere between fifth and seven in the order, where RBI opportunities could be plenty hitting behind Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and Marwin Gonzalez.
