Manager Bryan Price said he anticipates Mesoraco (hip) to return sometime around April 17-20, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Mesoraco was scheduled to catch a full game at Double-A Pensacola on Monday, and apparently it went off without a hitch. The Reds have been extremely methodical about the 28-year-old's return while working to build up his durability, though it appears he is close to a return after playing in just 39 games over the past two years.
