Joey Votto's Leg Contusion Worse Than Originally Thought
6 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds had originally planned to activate first baseman Joey Votto from the disabled list on Sunday but that wound up not taking place. According to reports, interim manager Jim Riggleman told reporters that Votto's leg contusion was "way worse" than originally thought. Riggleman went on to state that Votto is doing much better since being placed on the DL but he may not be ready for activation on Tuesday, either. Brandon Dixon and Curt Casali have both taken turns filling in for Votto at first base. Votto might not return until rosters expand on September 1.
