Catcher Devin Mesoraco has to sleep sitting up in a chair to make sure he doesn’t aggravate his surgically repaired left shoulder, but other than that, he’s said he’s doing OK.

Mesoraco will miss the rest of the season after injuring his shoulder, the second year in a row his season has ended early due to injury. Last year he had hip surgery during the season.

Reds notes: Optimism for return of injured starters

“I feel like I’m still in rehab mode. Nothing’s changed, it’s just lengthened,” Mesoraco said. “A little different focus here - at the end of the day I just do the exercises they give me and have a good attitude.”

Mesoraco said he’s expected to be ready to go through his entire offseason workout plans.
