Mesoraco (leg) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Cardinals.
A sore right leg will keep Mesoraco on the bench again Friday, affording Tucker Barnhart his third straight start behind the dish. It's not the same leg that was so troublesome last year -- it was the left hip Mesoraco had operated on -- but some concern is starting to mount at this point. Jordan Pacheco is the only other catcher option on the active roster.
