The Mariners decided not to push Zunino's recovery from an oblique strain
MINNEAPOLIS — The hope of Mike Zunino re-joining the Mariners in Minnesota on Saturday when he was eligible to return from the disabled list has been extinguished.
Manager Scott Servais said that Zunino, who is recovering from a Grade 1 oblique strain, won’t be joining the team this weekend as expected.
“We are probably going to slow Zunino down just a bit,” he said. “Our medical people just want to give him just a little bit more time instead of just firing him out there.
