iStock/Thinkstock(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) — With less than a month to go before the start of the regular season, Cincinnati Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco is out indefinitely after suffering a concussion.
Mesoraco suffered the injury when a foul ball hit him on the mask this past Saturday during a spring training game with the Kansas City Royals.
“It is tough for me to sit around, but that’s what you have to do,” Mesoraco said. “Right now I want to get back to work and I can’t do it. I did 20 minutes on the bike today. Tomorrow, I’ll walk on the treadmill.”
This is Mesoraco’s third concussion as a professional baseball player, the other two coming in 2010 and 2012.
“This was different than the first two,” Mesoraco said. “I had more headaches the last time. With this one everything is just hazy.”
Mesoraco broke out in 2014 for the Reds. He batted .273 with 25 home runs and 80 RBIs.
