CINCINNATI -- All-Star catcher Devin Mesoraco, who has struggled with a left hip injury all season, was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.
Mesoraco hasn't caught in a game since April 12 due to an impingement in the hip. He was able to pinch-hit in 13 games and start as designated hitter in four, hitting .178 in 45 at-bats.
The move was made retroactive to Thursday, the day after Mesoraco last appeared in a game. He had attempted to catch some sessions in the bullpen last week, but continued to experience stiffness and soreness.
