MILWAUKEE -- Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco is expected to complete the 20th and final day of his rehab assignment with Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday and be activated on Friday for the club's next series vs. the Cardinals at St. Louis.
There had been discussion of having Mesoraco up for the series vs. the Brewers. He has been working his way back from right hip and left shoulder surgeries since last summer. Mesoraco's last Major League appearance was last season on April 27.
"Unless there is a need here, I would really like him to get the at-bats that he'll get the next couple of days in Pensacola," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
