Votto was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Sunday.
The 36-year-old was initially included in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Tigers, but the Reds scratched him after he reported COVID-19-related symptoms to the Reds, according to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Nightengale notes that Votto has yet to produce a positive test result, so he may be out of action until he's cleared through additional testing. Based on the precedent for cases similar to Votto involving players who exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 but don't test positive, the first baseman will likely miss two days at a minimum, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic.
