Reds manager Dusty Baker will not use Devin Mesoraco as the full-time starter at catcher when Ryan Hanigan returns from the disabled list, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
"Hanigan is still going to get in there," Baker told the Enquirer Thursday. "There are certain teams that don't run when Hanigan's in there. There are certain guys that throw well to him. I'm fortunate to have a veteran guy and a guy that's on the way and learning. Someday, the job is going to be Meso's. It's just not now."
Mesoraco has hit .354/.396/.542 with two home runs and nine RBI in 48 at-bats in July.
