Though he said he's "moving in the right direction," Joey Votto (knee) admits he's "definitely not sure on a timetable." Reds manager Dusty Baker said Votto was "a little sore" after going through sliding drills. "For a guy that's had knee problems in the past, like me, that was probably the hardest obstacle to overcome," Baker said. "Fear of sliding." Votto is with the Reds on their road trip but doesn't appear close to being activated. He was given a 3-4 week timetable when he had surgery and has missed a little over three weeks to this point. "I'm definitely not sure on a timetable," Votto said. "I'm not doing that to be coy, it's because I genuinely don't know which day. I'm making progress."
