Devin Mesoraco has spent most of the past two seasons on the Cincinnati Reds’ DL after signing a long-term extension, including the start of this season. The Reds have suffered through years of Tucker Barnhart paired up with Brayan Pena and Ramon Cabrera. This year Barnhart and Mesoraco are the tandem once more in Cincinnati.
Of the Reds’ first 57 games, Mesoraco only played in 24. Barnhart played in 40 with Rule 5 draftee Stuart Turner having accounted for a few on his own. Mesoraco wasn’t medically cleared to play when the season first started.
