With the Mariners dealing with early injuries to Mike Zunino and Nelson Cruz, the Rainiers roster has already been adjusted before playing a single game. David Freitas was originally tabbed to be the starting catcher for the Rainiers on their Opening Night.
Instead, he was added to the Mariners active roster and has already logged two MLB starts. This decision came after Zunino was placed on the DL with an oblique strain. How long Freitas will remain on the big club is yet to be seen. However, Ben Gamel suffered a similar injury in spring training and will wind up missing between four and six weeks, so that could be a fair time line.
