Gattis has been working out exclusively in left field this spring, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Gattis may also see reps at first base in the coming weeks, but he's not expected to see time behind the plate since the Astros are set at the catcher position with Jason Castro and Hank Conger. Injuries have plagued Gattis over the past two seasons, so he'll likely benefit from a higher volume of playing time in 2015 without experiencing the rigors of spending most of his time catching. His rotisserie value would drop considerably if he loses catcher eligibility in 2016, however.
