Joey Votto has been out of the lineup for a month-and-a-half after surgery on his left knee, and the Cincinnati Reds have done just fine in his absence -- they currently lead the majors with 82 wins and hold a nine-and-a-half-game lead in the NL Central.
Votto has been on a rehab assignment in the minors and may be in the Reds' lineup Tuesday for the second game of the three-game series with the Phillies, reports John Fay. The Reds announced late Sunday that Votto will make another rehab appearance on Monday for Triple-A Louisville in the Bats' final game of the season.
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.
