Reds placed 1B Joey Votto on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 16, with a distal left quadriceps strain. The Reds had expressed optimism just a day ago that Votto would return to action later this week, but the club has decided it would be best to give him more time. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback, Votto seems likely to be ready for activation in early July. Brayan Pena is starting at first base Wednesday.
