Two thoughts:Originally Posted by Ron Madden
1 that was a GABP special in that he hit it far enough it almost landed at GABP
2 old pal Naquin had a nice view of it as it flew over him.
3 amazed to see they could rework Votto's contract to send him down to the minors at last. If only they could do that with Wily Mo.

Nick Senzel, who remains in Arizona, is scheduled to play nine innings in a minor league game today and Lucas Sims is scheduled to pitch an inning, per the Reds game notes.
Both moving closer toward a rehab assignment.

Nick Senzel and Tony Santillan will report to Louisville on Tuesday

Playing first base for Triple-A Louisville on a rehab assignment Saturday, Joey Votto homered on the first pitch he saw during the 2023 season.
Votto’s solo homer off Milwaukee Brewers minor league pitcher Caleb Boushley traveled 448 feet to center field, leaving his bat at 107.9 mph.
Votto will likely have some company on a rehab assignment in a few days. Nick Senzel and Tony Santillan are scheduled to report to Louisville Tuesday.
Senzel, who had surgery for his broken toe in November, is expected to play center field and third base on the rehab assignment while he could see time in the corner outfield and second base. He was scheduled to play nine innings in a minor league game.
Santillan missed most of the 2022 season because of a back injury. He dealt with some knee soreness after pitching in his first minor league game at the end of spring training, but he remains on track to potentially return by mid-to-late April.
I know it is terrible of me, but every time I read "Senzel, who had surgery for his broken toe in November," I cannot help but laugh a little
What would you say.....ya do here?
Obviously Votto has strength in his shoulder if he can hit the ball 448 feet but he's also not going to see too many 88 mph heaters in the bigs.

David Bell said Jose Barrero leaving the game (hamstring) was just precautionary. Barrero could be back as soon as tomorrow.

Eh, give Barrero a 2 week rest and lets see what McLain has

David Bell said it’s unlikely for Joey Votto to return on Thursday.
Jose Barrero is available today.

David Bell indicated that Votto would not be ready for activation on Thursday at Philadelphia when first eligible
There was a rainout on Friday and Monday was an off day for Louisville. Votto needs more reps.
Luke Weaver, Lucas Sims to begin rehab assignments
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb...ce/ar-AA19D2mZ
The Reds expect to have two pitchers begin rehab assignments Sunday. Luke Weaver is scheduled to throw four innings at Triple-A Louisville and Lucas Sims is scheduled to pitch one inning out of the bullpen.
Weaver was delayed for one week in camp when he felt forearm discomfort after pitching in a minor league game, a day when he threw more sliders. The Reds want the 29-year-old Weaver to build up his innings before he joins their starting rotation.

Sims dealt with a back spasm during spring training, which cost him a chance to be on the Opening Day roster. The spasm was in an area unrelated to Sims’ back pain last year when he was sidelined for most of the season.
The Reds have three players currently on a rehab assignment at Louisville: Joey Votto, Nick Senzel and Tony Santillan. Votto entered Saturday with three hits in 20 at-bats (.150 batting average), one homer, three walks and 12 strikeouts. It’s possible Votto may not join the Reds until their next homestand, which begins Thursday versus Philadelphia.
“I know that physically, he feels good,” Bell said of Votto. “We’ve been staying in touch, and he feels like he’s getting closer. He feels like his shoulder is feeling better and better. His body is catching up to the speed of the game. That’s how he described it. I know that’s why he’s there, for that to happen. It sounds like he’s getting close.”

Two injured Reds prospects -- shortstop Elly De La Cruz and corner infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand -- have resumed baseball activities, but neither has a specific timetable yet to make his regular-season debut with Triple-A Louisville.According to Reds vice president of player development Shawn Pender, both prospects still needed to get at-bats at extended spring before a specific return date can be determined. Pender noted that everything appeared to be on track with their recoveries, however.
“The guys we've had for the most part have been serviceable at this level.”
The maximum number of days that a position player can be is 20. If, after 20 days, the player is not ready to play at the major league level, do they also go out to extended spring training for more 'rehab'? What exactly is the procedure? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
It's my understanding that they can't do more rehab in minor league games than 20 days. At this point he's limited to extended ST or simulated games or whatever. Otherwise they could activate him for a day and then DL him again in order to get another 20 days

It looks like what could happen is that if, while on the rehab assignment, the player suffers a recurrence of the previous injury he must be recalled and be inactive for at least five days before starting another rehab assignment.
