Mesoraco (head) passed a second concussion test Wednesday and will be available off the bench for the Mets' game against the Blue Jays, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop took a couple blows to the head in Tuesday's game, but he was fortunate to avoid any concussion symptoms, which would have necessitated a week-long stay on the disabled list. It appears Mesoraco's absence from the lineup Wednesday is strictly precautionary and he should be ready to step back in behind the plate in Friday's series opener against the Rays.

Mesoraco is not in Wednesday's lineup after suffering a head injury during Tuesday's game, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mesoraco was removed from Tuesday's outing after getting hit in the head on a backswing. He was able to pass through concussion protocol, but manager Mickey Callaway will give a chance to rest with a scheduled off day coming Thursday. In his spot, Kevin Plawecki will handle the catching duties.

Mesoraco exited Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays after being hit in the head on a backswing, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mesoraco already cleared the concussion protocol, but the team is likely to monitor him closely over the next couple days. The 29-year-old seems unlikely to be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Toronto, but could seemingly return Friday against the Ray with Thursday's off day providing an additional day to recover.

Mesoraco is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mesoraco is hitting .228/.330/.457 with six homers in 30 games since joining the Mets. Kevin Plawecki will start in his place Sunday. The two catchers have split the starts roughly evenly since Plawecki returned from a fractured hand in late May, with Mesoraco starting 14 times compared to 12 for Plawecki.

Mesoraco is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Mesoraco will give way to Kevin Plawecki behind the dish after going 1-for-3 with a walk and a homer in Monday's series opener. The two backstops have alternated starts over the last eight games, and figure to keep doing so moving forward. Plawecki will get the nod in this one, hitting seventh.

Mesoraco went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's rout of the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was his first since May 28 and seventh of the season. Mesoraco has been alternating starts behind the plate with Kevin Plawecki over the last week, and former Red's .221/.307/.426 slash line on the year isn't going to encourage manager Mickey Callaway to write Mesoraco's name on the lineup card any more often.

Mesoraco is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mesoraco and Kevin Plawecki have alternated starts behind the plate over the last six games, and that timeshare seems likely to remain in place for the foreseeable future. While Mesoraco probably offers more appeal of the two from a fantasy standpoint thanks to his superior power, his checkered medical history probably makes the Mets reluctant to hand him a heavy workload at any point this season.
