Joey Votto was out of the Reds lineup Tuesday with a tight right hamstring.

Votto injured it going from first to third in the ninth inning of Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader. He doesn't think it's a major deal.

"(I'm) not concerned," Votto said.

Reds manager David Bell said Votto could be back in the lineup as soon Wednesday when the Reds close the four-game series with the Pirates with a 12:35 p.m. game.

"We're extra cautious with him," Bell said. "We anticipate he'll be available off the bench (Tuesday) night.
