Mesoraco (shoulder) remains out of the lineup Monday against the Giants.
Mesoraco has not started since Wednesday s he continues to cope with stiffness in his left shoulder. The fact that the Reds appear to believe a DL stint won't be necessary is encouraging, but Mesoraco remains without a firm return date and should be considered day-to-day. Tucker Barnhart will make another start in place of Mesoraco on Monday.
