Tucker Barnhart starting behind the plate, Devin Mesoraco out
Cincinnati Reds backstop Tucker Barnhart is starting Friday's series opener at the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
Devin Mesoraco is getting the night off. Barnhart will hit sixth behind Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce.
It's a small sample size of 35 plate appearances, but Barnhart owns a .360 wOBA this season. We project him to record a .251 wOBA with two jacks over the remainder of the season.
