Joey Votto (knee) said Tuesday that he doesn't plan to return until he is 100 percent. "I just want to be healthy the next time I go out there," said Votto, who required a second procedure on his left knee on Friday. "I'm very happy the team is playing extremely well, playing better than when I was out there. Maybe they don't want me back in the lineup. The next time I come back, I will be 100 percent ready to play and do everything before I was hurt." The Reds are 19-8 during Votto's absence, but they'll have a better chance of keeping their lead in the National League Central with him in the lineup. Still, it appears unlikely he'll return before the start of September.
