Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports
The reeling Atlanta Braves will once again take the field without Evan Gattis, as the catcher is set to miss his seventh straight game with strep throat.
Gattis said his condition had improved prior to Saturday's game but there are concerns as to why his body has yet to be able to completely shake the illness.
Evan Gattis is seeing doctors once again to determine why his symptoms of strep throat continue to linger. #Braves
