Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco was not included in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against Cleveland.
Mesoraco has been limited to DH duties because of left hip impingement he suffered in early April. He has appeared in the last two games, and only four games since April 11. He has been taking part in catching drills recently and should be cleared to catch a bullpen session over the weekend.
Mesoraco is hitting .178 (8 for 45) with a double, a triple and two RBI this season.
Cincinnati is an underdog (+145) at Cleveland, per VegasInsider.com.
