Joey Votto is back! Well, kind of. The Reds reinstated Votto from the disabled list today but he remains out of the starting lineup. As others have pointed out, it doesn't make much sense to rush him back at this point. The good news is that he's with the club and will be eased back into playing. By the end of the month, Votto should be back to 100% and fully prepared to dominate whoever the Reds face in the playoffs.
The Laotian Prince takes the mound for the Reds tonight. August was good to Mat, as he posted an ERA of 2.61 for the month while opponents posted an OPS of .582.
Kyle Kendrick has been pretty bad this year overall. However, he's pitched well over his last 4 starts, allowing just 4 runs in 29.1 innings pitched. Still, Kendrick is basically "average" in every way.
