Mesoraco is not in the lineup Monday against the Pirates.
Mesoraco is out of the lineup for the second straight game, though he did notch two at-bats and work a couple of innings behind the plate in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. The 28-year-old is on a strict playing-time schedule after appearing in just 39 games over the past two seasons, so seeing him get back-to-back days off shouldn't be too surprising. Tucker Barnhart will take over behind the dish for Mesoraco as the two continue to split time.
