Catcher Devin Mesoraco returned to the Reds lineup Saturday night. Shortstop Zack Cozart is not far behind.
Mesoraco had been out since last Sunday with a knee injury. Mesoraco was catching and hitting seventh as the Reds played the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.
Cozart has been on the 10-day disabled list with a nagging quad injury. Manager Bryan Price said Cozart would be activated Sunday and will be in the lineup.
"I'm feeling way better," Cozart said. "I ran the bases in Pittsburgh the other day, and it's felt the best it has since I actually injured it.
