Votto (back) isn't starting the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Votto has been dealing with back tightness recently and will remain out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game. He didn't appear in the first game of the twin bill, and it's not clear whether he'll be available off the bench during the nightcap. Mike Moustakas is starting at first base and batting sixth.
