Mesoraco remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Pirates, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis:
The team has not given any indication Mesoraco is ailing, but this is his second straight absence, so something seems amiss. That said, it's possible manager Bryan Price just decided to give the 27-year-old a couple days to sit back and observe after a dismal start to the season (.378 OPS). The Reds have been hurting for runs and need Mesoraco to get going.
