Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) could return from the injured list this Sunday when first eligible.
Votto is currently sidelined with a lower back strain. Turning 36 in less than a month, the veteran is currently on pace to post a career-low .762 OPS this season. Josh VanMeter has been covering first base in Votto's absence.
Votto is hitting .262/.352/.410 with 12 homers, 25 doubles, 39 RBI, 4 steals, and 60 scores in 486 plate appearances (113 games) this season.
