| Devin Mesoraco ties game with HR |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (5/7/13) Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco chose a good time to hit his first home run of 2013. He entered Tuesday's contest against the Braves in the ninth inning with his team trailing by one and launched a game-tying, solo shot off closer Craig Kimbrel.
Shin-Soo Choo would follow with a solo homer to give Cincinnati the 5-4 win.
Mesoraco is batting .237 with eight RBI through 20 games.

| Devin Mesoraco gets day off Tuesday |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/7/13) Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco is not in the team's starting lineup Tuesday.
Mesoraco has received a large portion of playing time with Ryan Hanigan on the disabled list. Corky Miller will take his place behind the plate and bat eighth. In 58 at-bats, Mesoraco is hitting .224/.319/.293.

| Devin Mesoraco receives a breather |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (4/23/13) Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco was left out of the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs. Corky Miller replaced him behind the plate.
Mesoraco caught 35 innings over the previous three games after a couple went extra innings.
"I'm fine. I feel like I can catch as many as we play, no matter when it is," Mesoraco told MLB.com. "It's different in the big leagues, I think, because the stakes are much higher. I feel like I trained for this in the offseason, to play every day and catch as many innings as they want."

| Consider Devin Mesoraco for a catching upgrade |
by Al Melchior | Data Analyst (4/22/13) Devin Mesoraco hasn't produced much as a major leaguer, but then again, the Reds haven't given him much of a chance to play. Now with Ryan Hanigan (oblique) on the 15-day disabled list, Mesoraco should see some regular starts, at least for awhile.
With an uptick in playing time, Mesoraco could easily be an upgrade in Fantasy over several catchers who are more widely owned, like Francisco Cervelli, Welington Castillo and Jason Castro. Don't expect Mesoraco to hit for average, but he could provide a boost to your lineup's power and run production.

| Devin Mesoraco begins stretch of full-time play |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (4/22/13) Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco has seen a lot of time behind the plate recently, but will officially be in a full-time role for the next two weeks.
The Reds have placed Ryan Hanigan on the disabled list, allowing Mesoraco to receive the majority of the playing time with the club. Mesoraco is a former top prospect who hasn't seen a ton of chances in the majors yet. If he performs well over this stretch, it could lead to more consistent appearances once Hanigan returns.

| One of Cincinnati's most anticipated prospects, Devin Mesoraco fizzled in 2012, hitting just .212 with five home runs and eight doubles in 165 at-bats. Mesoraco failed to deliver on the promise of his minor league power and what seemed to be a solid batting average, playing sparingly throughout the season, with Ryan Hanigan getting the lion's share of work behind the plate. His season hit a low point in July, when Mesoraco was suspended for bumping an umpire and then placed on the seven-day concussion DL. There's still hope for Mesoraco in 2013, but it's best to play it safe, as Hanigan is lined up to get most of the playing time again. He's best taken as a second catcher in deep NL-only leagues.
