Mesoraco to serve 2-game suspension
Appeal subtracted 1 game from violation
CINCINNATI, OH - JULY 30: Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker #12 tries to break up an argument between Devin Mesoraco #39 and home plate umpire Chad Fairchild in the third inning of the game against the San Diego Padres at Great American …

CINCINNATI - Catcher Devin Mesoraco will begin serving his suspension Tuesday night after bumping an umpire on July 30.
Mesoraco bumped umpire Chad Fairchild when they got into it over a strike call.
But Mesoraco’s appeal of the suspension did knock off one game from the original three-game suspension, and he’ll only sit out two games on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Louisville (AAA) catcher Dioner Navarro has been called up to fill the catcher void Mesoraco’s suspension creates.
The Reds announced Tuesday that Logan Ondrusek was sent down to play in Louisville to swap with Navarro's call-up, since suspensions necessitate a team to play shorthanded.
The Reds look to bounce back from a rough 12-5 Monday loss against the Phillies in Philadelphia at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday.
