Robinson Cano gets a day off from the field on Sunday for the first time this season. After starting the first 42 games for the Mariners at second base, Cano is in the lineup as DH.
Brad Miller replaces Cano at second base, batting leadoff.
"He played second in spring training quite a bit," McClendon said to The News Tribune. "If you can play short, you can play second. Is he the greatest second baseman in the world? No. But he'll make the plays. He'll be fine."
The Mariners also started Welington Castillo at catcher for the second time this year, giving Mike Zunino a rest.
