Mariners' Mike Zunino not in the starting lineup against Minnesota

Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino is not in the starting lineup against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.

What It Means:

It's a routine day off for Zunino, and Thursday's catching duties will be handled by Carlos Ruiz, who will bat eighth against Twins' righty Jose Berrios.

Despite the offensive downgrade from Zunino (.320 wOBA) to Ruiz (.301 wOBA), the Mariners have a solid 4.74 implied total this afternoon.
