The Cincinnati Enquirer's Tom Groeschen reports Joey Votto underwent a "minor procedure" Friday to remove a piece of floating cartilage from his injured left knee. According to Groeschen, the surgery will require an additional 7-10 days of recovery time. Votto was originally expected to miss three to four weeks, but is now looking like a long shot to return this month. While his season isn't in jeopardy, he'll need to make notable progress to be activated before the first half of September.
