The infraction occurred in the third inning of Monday's loss to the Padres, when Mesoraco made contact with umpire Chad Fairchild while arguing a pitch call.
Mesoraco will begin serving his suspension on Wednesday against the Padres, unless he chooses to appeal.
The 24-year-old catcher, who made his major league debut in 2011, is batting .221 with five homers and 14 RBI in 46 games with the Reds this season.
