All has been incredibly quiet on the Votto front. I haven't seen any updates since he first resumed baseball activities. I find it so wonderful that he can just take his time in getting back because this team has been playing so well.

Dusty says the plan is to have Votto go to Dayton sometime this week to rehab in hopes that he can join #Reds next weekend in Houston.

That is great news. I will be at the Dragons game on Wednesday. I would expect they will probably give Votto maybe 3 games rehab (Tues-Thurs) and then fly him to Houston. As KC said if they just hold him out Friday they won't have to make a roster move and then they could activate him Saturday.
It looks like it will be two games in Dayton (Tuesday and Wednesday) depending on how Votto is feeling

“Hopefully two (games), depending on how I’m feeling,” Votto said. “I’m a little apprehensive because I haven’t played in such a long time, but once I get going I’ll feel fine.”
Votto still won’t forecast which day he might rejoin the Reds:
“That’s too far off. … I’ve got a long way to go with my swing.”
I tore my meniscus in December. Didn't have surgery, but did go through physical therapy. It worked, and I don't have any of the sort of pain I used to have. However, if I turn the wrong way or move the wrong way when I'm on my hands and knees, I definitely feel what I would call a twinge. It goes away quickly, though, and there are no lingering effects. I'd be surprised if this isn't what Votto is feeling at this point.

I had the same surgery Votto had. The knee didn't feel really stable for a few months. There were twinges for about that long, as well, when I moved quickly laterally. Takes a while to "trust" it.
I was scoped back in the 90's. For a couple of years I thought it hadn't been effective since I still felt those twinges. And then they stopped and none since.
It takes a while I guess.
