Votto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Friday's loss to Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Votto continues to be a pillar of consistency this season and is now up to 25 bombs, 64 RBI, 64 runs and a .315/.427/.627 slash line. He's taking a run at posting career-best totals in a number of categories (homers, RBI, runs, slugging percentage and OPS) and projects to remain an elite asset.

Votto went 2-for-3 with two walks, a triple and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

While the first baseman is on pace for career-best performances in homers (24 through 84 games) and SLG (.625), he hasn't forgotten his bread and butter either as Votto's also on track for a batting average better than .310 and an OBP better than .425 for the third straight campaign.

Votto went 2-for-2 with a pair of solo homers and a walk in Thursday's 11-3 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran first baseman ended up being pulled early with the outcome not in question, but not before Votto increased his homer total to 23 -- the second-highest total in the National League. Even though the Reds are going nowhere fast with a 33-45 record, Votto's turning in another incredible fantasy campaign, offering high-end production in every category but steals.

Votto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Votto delivered a 413-foot bomb to center off Jhoulys Chacin to tie Ryan Zimmerman for the league lead. With 19 home runs and 51 RBI through 64 games, Votto is one pace for a career year. The Reds first baseman is providing premium power while maintaining a .300 average.

Votto went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored during Thursday's win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

It was the second game in a row Votto left the yard, and he's now up to a .300/.423/.595 slash line with 16 homers, 48 RBI and 45 runs. He's providing elite fantasy numbers and continues to be the driving force behind the high-scoring Cincinnati offense.

Votto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old's huge first half continues, and Votto now has 15 homers and 46 RBI through 58 games. Wednesday's performance snapped a seven-game streak with a walk, and the first baseman is slashing .310/.444/.690 with three home runs, seven RBI and six runs over that eight-game stretch.

Votto went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He gave the Reds a quick lead in the top of the first inning with his 14th homer of the year and second in as many games, although it didn't hold up. Votto's BABIP is about 100 points lower than the level he's established over the last two seasons, but his .986 OPS is right in line with his 2015-16 performances, so the drastic increase in his flyball rate that's fueling his power spike hasn't harmed his overall production -- even if it's changed the shape of that production from a fantasy perspective.

Votto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss in Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Votto took the first pitch he saw from J.A. Happ over the center field fence, going back-to-back with teammate Zack Cozart. Votto has heated up in May, hitting .308 and posting an OPS of 1.016. Hs 13 long balls and 40 RBI rank seventh and sixth, respectively, in the National League. Look for him to continue to be one of the best first base options in baseball.

Votto has already popped out six times this season after averaging 4.6 infield flies per season over his career, MLB.com's Keegan Matheson reports.

EDGE Analysis

In the past Votto has assiduously avoided pop-ups, as they are near-certain outs. Has he changed his approach to get more loft in his swing, or is this more of a statistical anomaly? The trend across baseball has been to encourage more of a loft among power hitters - the consequence of which usually is to add more power at the expense of batting average.

Votto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI during Sunday's loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday was just business as usual for the slugger, as Votto has registered seven multi-hit games in May and sports a .349/.512/.619 slash line for the month. Considering the veteran first baseman has typically been a better second-half producer, his excellent start to 2017 is laying the groundwork for his first 30-homer season since his MVP campaign in 2010.
