Mariners' Mike Zunino: Picks up third start in four games

Zunino will serve as the Mariners' catcher and bat seventh in the order Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Analysis:

Manager Scott Servais told 710 ESPN Seattle's Shannon Drayer shortly after Zunino's July 20 promotion that the backstop would play "more than once or twice a week," and the Mariners skipper has been true to his word thus far. Zunino will be making his third start in four games, and at the very least, it looks as though he'll split time with Chris Iannetta behind the plate, if not see the bulk of the action. Zunino has historically been an asset in the power department but is just a .194 career hitter at the big league level.
