Gattis is out of the lineup Friday against the Phillies.

Analysis:

Gattis has been used mostly as a pinch hitter since returning from an illness caused by kidney stones. He rejoined the lineup Thursday, but played a shortened outing, and is again out of the lineup Friday. Christian Bethancourt will start behind the plate in his place and bat sixth for the Braves.
