The Cincinnati Reds placed Joey Votto on the injured list ahead of Sunday’s doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers. The move was made after the veteran first baseman self-reported symptoms for COVID-19, per a report by the Cincinnati Enquirer.
In a coinciding move, the Reds reinstated right-handed pitcher Anthony DeSclafani.
