Joey Votto has not been named to Team Canada's initial roster for the 2013 WBC, as he must first pass an insurance physical since he was injured last season. Canada's head coach Greg Hamilton said Saturday that he has "every reason to believe there will be no issue whatsoever" with Votto's physical, which is a strong indication that the first baseman will eventually join up with the team. Votto stated in December that he wouldn't participate unless his surgically-repaired left knee was at 100 percent. It seems that it is.
