Reds place first baseman Joey Votto on the COVID IL; timeline for Jonathan India

MILWAUKEE –– After Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto wrapped up the worst statistical month of his career, Votto was dealt another bad bounce.

Before the Reds game on Tuesday, the Reds placed Votto on the COVID IL. Votto was initially in the Reds lineup for Tuesday’s game versus the Milwaukee Brewers, but he reported symptoms before the game.

Reds manager David Bell said Votto hasn’t tested positive for COVID-19, and there isn’t a minimum amount of days that Votto needs to miss.

Why didn't the Reds trade for Willy Adames? The cost was Jonathan India.
