Mesoraco (hip, shoulder) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Thursday.
The backstop may not play the workload of a starter, but even with his health issues, he still carries upside at the plate -- perhaps the pace of a 20-homer season the rest of the way. Mesoraco should eventually overtake Tucker Barnhart, as long as he's healthy, and deserves a pickup or activation in two-catcher mixed leagues. Strong progress could put him in the discussion to start in single-catcher games later in the season.
