HOUSTON -- Following two games of solid results, the Houston Astros appear ready to amp up catcher Evan Gattis' opportunities behind the plate.
After spending his first season in Houston playing multiple positions, none of which required him to sport catcher's gear, Gattis spent a brief stint with Double-A Corpus Christi earlier this month getting reacquainted with the position. Two games into his role as the backup to Jason Castro, Gattis appears to have settled into the job with ease.
