Devin Mesoraco placed on DL, Phillip Ervin recalled

The Reds placed catcher Devin Mesoraco (broken right foot) on the disabled list Tuesday, the team announced.

It’s Mesoraco’s third stint on the DL this season. Hip and shoulder issues have cut into Mesoraco’s time in recent seasons since his breakout 2014 campaign.

Mesoraco is hitting .213 with six homers and 14 RBIs in 55 games this season.

Outfielder Phillip Ervin was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to fill the vacated spot. Outfielder Scott Schebler will begin a rehab assignment in Louisville, while the recently acquired utilityman Scott Van Slyke accepted his assignment to Triple-A.

Scott Schebler will begin a rehab assignment tonight with the Triple-A @LouisvilleBats.
