Reds Activate Jonathan India, Joey Votto From IL On Sunday
8 months agoThe Cincinnati Reds reinstated second baseman Jonathan India (foot) and first baseman Joey Votto (shoulder) from the injured list ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals. India has been sidelined since the end of July with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but he is activated a few days earlier than anticipated. The 26-year-old, batting seventh and defending the keystone on Sunday, is slashing a strong .267/.354/.453 with 20 home runs, 77 RBI, and 12 stolen bases in 585 trips to the dish. Votto has been out since Aug. 24 due to left shoulder discomfort, and he returns on time per manager David Bell's expectations. The 39-year-old, who bounces Christian Encarnacion-Strand from the cold corner and hits sixth for this one, is slashing an effective .200/.303/.459 with 13 home runs and 33 RBI in 195 trips to the plate.
