Votto out additional 7-10 days
Returned to Cincinnati yesterday to have minor procedure on knee, per Tom Groeschen of the Enquirer on Twitter:
"Votto returned to Cincy last night and had minor procedure to remove piece of floating cartilage. Add 7-10 days to recovery time. #reds" |

Ugh. Never good when there is an additional procedure.

Doesn't bode well for our chances of staying ahead of Pittsburgh

Re: Votto out additional 7-10 days
Luckily we have the Cubs, Mets and Cubs to deal with. But then... at Philly, at home vs. St. Louis, and at Arizona. Let's hope he's back just in time.

Re: Votto out additional 7-10 days
Makes the decision to not acquire Overbay look less and less attractive. Say hello to more Miguel Cairo.

Overbay is still available, hopefully this would change Walt's mind.

Unfortunate indeed. So we're talking 7-10 days beyond the original, which would put his return in early September?

Re: Votto out additional 7-10 days
July 17th was original surgery with 3-4 week recovery time. 7-10 additional days puts him somewhere between August 21-24. So we are looking at Phillies or Cardinals series more than likely. It was sounding like he was eyeing this upcoming home stand with sliding being last challenge. So if you assume he was coming back on the 14th, then add 7-10 days to that.

Re: Votto out additional 7-10 days
Yeah. With Votto out and Rolen being injury prone, it was fairly obvious the Reds needed to add another bat. Yet the Reds stood pat. They have to make a move now.

Re: Votto out additional 7-10 days
In fairness to management, we have gone 17-8 without Votto. It's not like the ship's been sinking and they stood by and did nothing. I'm sure they will do something to shore up the bench by the end of August.

Re: Votto out additional 7-10 days
If Votto and Rolen will both be out much longer, Reds should add a first or third baseman. Otherwise they will be using either Valdez or Cairo in the lineup every day.

It sounded like a pretty minor procedure.
