Joey Votto Stats

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (shoulder) has opted to undergo surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. The surgery will take place on Friday. The expected recovery timeline for Votto is about six months, meaning that his 2022 campaign has come to an end. The 38-year-old appeared in 91 games this year and had a tough time at the plate, slashing just .205/.319/.370 with 11 home runs, 41 RBI and 31 runs. Assuming he can stick to a timeline of about six months, he should be ready to return around the start of spring training next year, ahead of what will be his 17th year in the majors.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is not in the starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez on Wednesday. Votto, who has gone just 7-for-51 (.137) with a homer, three RBI and 13 strikeouts in 14 games this month, is getting a day off amidst a slump. The 38-year-old left-handed hitter has really struggled all year, slashing .205/.319/.370 with 11 home runs, 41 RBI and 31 runs scored in 376 plate appearances over 91 games played. He's hitless in his last five games. Matt Reynolds is starting at first base and batting cleanup against Suarez on Wednesday. Reynolds occupies a nice spot in the lineup, but he's gone 14-for-62 (.226) with one of his three home runs against southpaws in 2022.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) is back at first base and is hitting cleanup on Tuesday against New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Votto is back in the lineup for the first time since suffering a back injury on the Fourth of July. The 38-year-old just hasn't been able to find his footing this year, as he's hitting only .210/.332/.374 with six home runs, 25 RBI and 22 runs scored in 253 plate appearances over 62 games played in 2022. He's returning to a tough matchup against the hard-throwing Cole, too, so we wouldn't blame fantasy managers for keeping him on their benches in his return to action on Tuesday.
