Mariners activate Mike Zunino from DL, and hope for breakthrough bat in the second half

Two days and two games was enough.

Actually, it was too many to Mike Zunino’s liking. But the Seattle Mariners’ catcher was activated from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday for their series finale against the Chicago White Sox, taking the place of catcher David Freitas, who was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma.

Zunino spent the past two games in Tacoma in rehab starts to get his timing back at the plate. Mariners manager Scott Servais said Zunino has felt ready to return physically from the bone bruise in his ankle that left him in a walking boot.
