Zunino's absence from the lineup comes as little surprise after he was diagnosed with a strained left biceps following his early exit in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners. Tampa Bay has yet to announce a roster move in advance of Wednesday's game, so at this stage, the team is seemingly viewing Zunino as day-to-day with the injury. With Zunino taking a seat Wednesday and with Francisco Mejia (illness) on the COVID-19-related injured list, third-string catcher Rene Pinto will step in behind the plate.
