Joey Votto had his rehab assignment halted Saturday, which means he won’t play in minor league games for at least five days, but he remains optimistic about the progress he’s made over the past month.
Votto will remain with the Cincinnati Reds through their home series against Tampa Bay, participating in pregame batting practice and defensive drills, before a decision is made for his next step. It’s possible he could restart a rehab assignment as early as next weekend.
