WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Astros catcher Evan Gattis played catch at short distances as he tries to recuperate from a sore right shoulder that forced him to get an anti-inflammatory injection last week.
Gattis, who was limited last spring after undergoing hernia surgery, has been catching bullpen sessions the past few days, but hasn't been throwing the ball back to the pitcher. A coach has been set up next to him so he can give him the ball and allow him to throw it back.
He said he threw about 15 balls at 60 feet and 15 more at 75 feet early Sunday.
