7 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds will give star first baseman Joey Votto a day off on Thursday as they conclude their series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Adam Duvall is starting at first base and is batting fourth. This is a rare day off for Votto, who played in all 162 games during the 2017 season. There's nothing wrong with Votto, who is just getting a day of rest after taking part in a 12-inning game on Wednesday night. Manager Bryan Price and Votto made plans this spring to get Votto some days off throughout the season. Expect him to be back out there on Friday.--Matt T - RotoBaller
