‘I have a responsibility to play well’: Joey Votto set to rejoin Reds in Toronto

Joey Votto, on track to rejoin the Cincinnati Reds for their upcoming three-game series in Toronto, was asked Wednesday what sights he wanted to see in his trip back to his hometown.

“Sights-wise, the center of the baseball,” Votto deadpanned. “Parts of the city, somewhere around windows, maybe the second deck. Somewhere around there. That’s what I’m targeting.”

Votto missed the last 15 games after a positive COVID-19 diagnosis on May 3. He was ill for the first eight or nine days, he said, and didn’t move from his bed or the couch in his Milwaukee hotel room or his home in Cincinnati.
