Joey Votto (knee) back in Reds' lineup Monday afternoon

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Monday afternoon's makeup game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Votto was held out of the last two lineups with a sore left knee. He is back in the cleanup spot for Cincinnati and replacing an idle Asdrubal Cabrera on first base.

numberFire’s models project Votto for 14.8 FanDuel points versus the Pirates and he has a $4,200 salary on Monday’s slate. Votto's xwOBA ranks in the top 4% of the league among qualified pitches this season.
