The Mariners get back one more piece of their projected Opening Day lineup today, and it’s a big one.
Mariners have activated C Mike Zunino from the 10-day DL and optioned Mike Marjama to Class AAA Tacoma (post-game April 19).

Catcher Mike Zunino, who tied for third in the majors among catchers in fWAR last season at 3.6, joins the team today as they open a 10-game road trip, starting with Rangers lefty Mike Minor tonight.
The corresponding move came as a bit of a surprise, as Mike Marjama—who left spring training as the M’s backup catcher—was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma.
