Joey Votto has been out of the lineup for more than a month with a because of torn meniscus cartilage, and the Cincinnati Reds have done just fine in his absence - they currently hold a six-game lead in the NL Central.
Votto is slated to begin a two-game rehab assignment with Class A Dayton on Tuesday and could rejoin the Reds for a Labor Day weekend series at Houston, reports MLB.com's Mark Sheldon.
Votto was close to being ready to return two weeks ago when he re-injured his knee while doing sliding drills. Even when Votto returns, the Reds may be careful to give him some occasional days off, which means more time at first for Rookie of the Year candidate Todd Frazier.
