Zach Cole News: Day off Saturday

Cole is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The lefty-hitting Cole heads to the bench even with a righty (George Kirby) on the hill for Seattle. Cole is hitless with four strikeouts and one walk in his last three games after bashing two home runs with seven RBI in his first four big-league games. Cam Smith is starting in right field and batting ninth.
