Joey Votto sitting Wednesday for Cincinnati
Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday night's clash with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
Jordan Pacheco will start at first base and bat seventh versus Pittsburgh right-hander Juan Nicasio. Something could be up with Votto, who rarely sits against a righty, but is could also just be simple day off.
He's sporting an underwhelming .234/.360/.387 batting line in 33 games this season. We project him to pick it up, forecasting Votto to post a .358 wOBA with 18 homers and seven steals the rest of the way.
