Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco has been battling a sore back the last few days, but he was good enough to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.
"Mes said he was OK," manager Dusty Baker said, per the Cincinnati Enquirer. "He usually catches (Mike) Leake. They’ve done pretty well together. He got here early for treatment, like he’s supposed to do. If you get here early for treatment, it shows me you might be ready or trying to get ready."
