Mesoraco (hamstring) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Although his initial removal from Sunday's bout seemed to be precautionary, this marks the second consecutive game Mesoraco will miss due to the ailment. It's unclear if the Reds are just being overly cautious with the catcher or if there's actually a bigger issue at hand, but more information should be disclosed relatively soon. Tucker Barnhart will fill in for him behind the plate once again.
