Evan Gattis: Expected To Catch Some Games Later This Season

Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Gattis "will catch some (games), probably later in the season," but will mostly DH and play left field, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Gattis' rotisserie value in 2016 hinges on whether or not he retains catcher eligibility, so it's encouraging to hear there's at least a slight chance of that happening. He's a defensive liability both behind the plate and in the outfield, however, so it's safe to assume he'll DH most often.
