Braves' Gattis could be available to pinch-hit vs. Mets

Atlanta Braves catcher Evan Gattis (kidney stones) is going to attempt to take batting practice before Friday's game and could pinch-hit if he responds well, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's David O'Brien reports.

Analysis:

This would be the first time Gattis has participated in on-field baseball activities since his illness began, and it suggests he's close to returning to the Braves' lineup. Christian Bethancourt will start behind the dish Friday.
