With Max Stassi (wrist) sidelined for the first month of the season, Gattis (sports hernia) could be employed as the No. 2 catcher behind starter Jason Castro if healthy.
EDGE Analysis
Gattis recently participated in a minor league intrasquad game and he's been taking batting practice, but he has yet to suit up for any Grapefruit League action. The 29-year-old still has a way to go before Houston would even give him the opportunity to endure the physical demands of the catcher position, but it's important to note he's been throwing with the catching group in practice. While his fantasy stock would rise with catcher eligibility, he's unlikely to see enough time behind the plate to qualify at the position.
