Joey Votto Out Of Lineup, Derek Dietrich To Start
6 years agoCincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto will sit on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, while Derek Dietrich will draw the start at first and bat fifth. It's likely a standard day off for Votto, who is hitting just .233 and hit his first home run of the season on Saturday. Dietrich will be seeing his first action at first base this season. He's hitting .214 with a home run and four runs batted in. Facing Chris Archer in Pittsburgh isn't the easiest matchup, but a short porch in right field could be a benefit for Dietrich's underrated power potential.
