On Thursday, Cincinnati Reds’ manager Bryan Price said that the team was going to give catcher Devin Mesoraco a shot in left field to get his bat in the lineup. Today, Price said that Mesoraco will be sent on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville to get him acclimated with the position and that will begin on Monday in Columbus.
Of course, Mesoraco is currently on the disabled list with a left hip impingement and won’t be able to catch again this season, but is still able to run and hit.
