Zunino is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Zunino will get a breather after he went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's series opener. After the catcher went hitless for his first 27 at-bats in May, he's secured at least one base-knock in three out of the last four contests, batting .333 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored over that stretch. Cam Gallagher will take over behind the plate and bat ninth against St. Louis.

Zunino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Zunino will give way to Cam Gallagher behind the dish Wednesday after starting at catcher in both of the first two games of the series. The 32-year-old backstop went 0-for-4 with a pair of punchouts in Tuesday's 4-2 loss, bringing his batting average down to .170 and his strikeout rate up to a career-worst 44.9 percent for the season.

Zunino went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After beginning May 0-for-27, Zunino has hit safely in each of the last two games. His homer provided the Guardians with some breathing room in Monday's low-scoring win, and it was one of the team's four hits. The catcher has a paltry .178/.282/.356 slash line with three long balls, nine RBI, eight runs scored and seven doubles through 31 contests. Zunino can chip in some power hitting, but he'll always be an anchor on batting average. With Cam Gallagher also having a rough May, Zunino should maintain a starting role behind the dish.

The 32-year-old backstop is slashing .179/.297/.346 with two home runs, seven runs and seven RBI through 26 games in his first season in Cleveland.
