What It Means:

Mesoraco can be away from the Reds for as many as 72 hours. Reliever Austin Brice was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to provide some depth to Cincinnati's bullpen in the short-term. Tucker Barnhart is starting behind the plate on Monday against the San Diego Padres.

numberFire's models project Mesoraco to turn in a poor .197 batting average with only 2 home runs and 6 RBI in 74 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
