Mesoraco (hip) will not be in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Mesoraco was able to pinch hit in Friday's series opener, but still isn't ready to see action behind the plate. The Reds' willingness to use him in any capacity in recent days suggests there's no plan for him to be placed on the disabled list, though it still remains unclear when he might be able to resume catching full-time. Brayan Pena draws another nod behind the plate Sunday.
