Zunino Should Avoid Injured List Wtih Biceps Injury

Catcher Mike Zunino, who left Tuesday’s game with left biceps soreness, said Wednesday he believes that he will not need to go in the injured list for the issue.

“[I’m] a little sore from all the treatment and stuff,” Zunino said.  “But I think it’s a step in the right direction.”

Both Zunino and manager Kevin Cash said he could be available tonight in an emergency, but they’d like to give him another day or two to heal further.

Kluber Has Start Pushed Back A Day

The Rays said pitcher Corey Kluber, who was scheduled to start Thursday’s finale against Seattle, will now be pushed back a day, and start Friday night’s opener against the Minnesota Twins.

Cash said the team will use a bullpen day on Thursday.
