Joey Votto is making progress in his recovery from knee surgery, but will not play for the Reds this weekend. "Oh, hell no," manager Dusty Baker said. "What weekend? You've still got to run. He just started playing a little first base." Votto, who has not played since July 15 and had arthroscopic surgery to repair torn meniscus cartilage in his left knee July 17, was on the field in shorts Thursday morning taking ground balls.
