Reds first baseman Joey Votto is likely headed to the disabled list with a left knee injury, according to FoxSports.com senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal. It's the same knee that required surgery in 2012.
The report added that Votto did not make the trip with the team to Philadelphia and that he's scheduled for an MRI.
Votto has taken a step back this year after a disappointing 2013 in which he eschewed an aggressive approach at the plate for greater patience and wound up with just 73 RBI. He has just six home runs and 12 RBI in 2014 and his average has fallen to an uncharacteristic .257. He scored 101 runs last season to just 19 so far this year.
