Reds News: Joey Votto placed on COVID-related injury list

Joey Votto has been placed on the Injured List for players who have either tested positive for COVID-19 or reported symptoms. Votto reported symptoms to the club this morning. Votto is 36.

This is similar to the situation with Mike Moustakas last Sunday. Moustakas was held out three days and reinstated for Wednesday’s game.

Joey Votto self-reported symptoms this morning, according to a source, but he has not tested positive for COVID-19. It's raining in Detroit, but they're still scheduled to play a doubleheader. #Reds https://t.co/E1fxdqH3uh
