Mesoraco (hip) is batting eighth and serving as the DH for Tuesday's game in Kansas City, C. Trent Rosencrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis:With the Reds playing in an American League ballpark, Mesoraco will get a rare chance to join the lineup. It's expected that he'll try to catch a bullpen session at some point this week, but there's still a decent chance he eventually opts for surgery, which likely would end his season.
