Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco (concussion) and center fielder Billy Hamilton (shoulder) are back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Mesoraco suffered his concussion last weekend after getting hit in the mask by a foul ball but was able to progress through the week.
"To be honest, I don't think I need a lot of at-bats," said Mesoraco. "My swing is good, and I feel like my swing is pretty close to where it should be. I don't think I need any extra, but I'm more than happy to go out there and play as much as Bryan wants me in there."
Hamilton injured his shoulder nine days ago while running into an outfield wall.
