Joey Votto Spotted Playing Catch Before Monday's Game
3 years agoCincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (thumb) was seen playing catch on the field before his team's Monday game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Votto has been on the injured list since May 6 after fracturing his left thumb on a hit-by-pitch. While he is still without a timetable for return, Votto should be able to rejoin the big league club at some point during June as he has been ramping up baseball activities over the past week. The veteran infielder is hitting .226 with five homers and 17 RBI on the year. His return would cut into Tyler Stephenson's playing time as the rookie has been getting some starts at first base.
