Mesoraco is dealing with tightness in his right leg, which is presumably why he is out of the lineup Wednesday, the Cincinnati Enquirer's C. Trent Rosecrans reports.
Last year he had surgery on his left leg, and he said this feels very different from what he dealt with last year. It is unclear how serious this latest issue will turn out to be for Mesoraco, but he was already off to a poor start at the plate, and for him to already be dealing with lower-body tightness/soreness has to be frustrating for his owners. Tucker Barnhart will start at catcher and hit eighth Wednesday.
