Joey Votto Going to Dayton Tuesday

Joey Votto is going back to Dayton on Tuesday.

The Reds informed its star player, who has missed 40 games to date, that he will play in a rehab assignment in Dayton.  If everything goes well, Votto will meet the team next weekend in Houston.


"I'm a little apprehensive because I haven't played in a long time.
The work on the field has been good.  I have a long way to go on my
swing.  The things that I'm uncomfortable about will come out when I
play in Dayton."

The Reds are 27-13 since Votto was disabled on July 16.
