Votto was a late scratch for Saturday’s 7-6 win over the Nationals and is reportedly dealing with knee soreness. Votto last played in an 8-7 win over the Nationals Friday night, going 0-for-3 with two walks. A regular fixture in the Reds’ lineup, Votto has played 124 games this season, hitting .268 with a .379 OBP and 33 home runs.
Asdrubal Cabrera will take over first base duties in place of Votto Sunday, hitting sixth.
