Devin Mesoraco catching and batting seventh for Reds on Friday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco is in the lineup and batting seventh versus the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

What It Means:

Mesoraco has not started a game in over a year and played in just 39 games since 2014 due to hip and shoulder injuries. The 28-year-old is expected to split catching duties with Tucker Barnhart as the Reds ease Mesoraco back into game shape.

numberFire's models project Mesoraco for 11 home runs, 36 RBI's and a .232 batting average in 320 plate appearances the rest of the year.
