Devin Mesoraco has acknowledged that he will likely require hip surgery and be sidelined for up to four months.

Mesoraco is looking at all options before settling on surgery.

The 26-year-old has just 28 plate appearances for the Cincinnati Reds this season because of the lingering injury.

Mesoraco signed a four-year, $28 million contract extension with Cincinnati this offseason on the heels of a breakout 2014 campaign.
