Votto isn't in the Reds' lineup for the second half of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Angels, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander Reid Detmers will take the mound for Los Angeles, so Votto will retreat to the bench for the start of Wednesday's nightcap. Christian Encarnacion-Strand will start at first base, and Spencer Steer will serve as the Reds' DH.

Votto is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Henry Ramos will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and Christian Encarnacion-Strand will cover first base with left-hander Logan Allen getting the start for Cleveland. Spencer Steer is in left field and batting cleanup.

Votto is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Christian Encarnacion-Strand will start at first base and bat seventh with the Marlins throwing left-hander Braxton Garrett. Kevin Newman is serving as the Reds' designated hitter and batting fifth. Votto will grab some rest after hitting his second homer in as many days in Monday's series opener versus Miami.

Votto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Votto launched his second home run in as many games. It was the second of back-to-back shots to lead off the fourth inning. The slugging first baseman's last four hits have all been home runs and nearly half his knocks this season -- 13 of 27 -- have left ballparks.

Votto went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds were already down 4-0 when Votto stepped to the plate in the second inning and launched 12th homer in 38 games. The hit stanched an 0-for-12 slide for the slugger, whose last three hits have left the yard.

Votto went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Votto belted a solo shot to center field in the second inning and added a two-run blast in the fourth. He finished with multiple hits for the third straight game, a span in which he's gone 6-for-13 with three homers, four runs and seven RBI. The hot stretch follows a poor start to the second half, as Votto went 5-for-46 (.109 average) over his first 14 games following the All-Star break.

Votto went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Votto launched a two-run blast in the third inning and tacked on another run with an RBI double in the ninth. This was the veteran's second multi-hit effort in 15 games since the All-Star break, a span in which he's batting a meager .137 (7-for-51). Despite the poor hitting, Votto's path to playing time could be steadier while Jonathan India (foot) is on the injured list, a move that is likely to clear up a logjam throughout the Reds' infield and designated hitter positions. Votto is slashing .194/.310/.481 with nine homers, 25 RBI, 12 runs scored and four doubles through 126 plate appearances this season.

Votto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Votto looks to be getting a routine day off for the series finale, which begins at 1:40 p.m. ET. The 39-year-old had started in each of the Reds' last 12 games while hitting .150 with three home runs and nine RBI.

Votto went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run against Milwaukee in an 8-5 win Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Votto continues to swing a hot bat, notching three multi-hit performances over his past five games. The veteran has homered four times during that span while knocking in 13 runs. The hot stretch has pushed his slash line up to .259/.365/.685, and Votto has clearly found his groove after a slow start to the campaign.

Votto went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Votto, who homered for the sixth time in 15 games, had a two-run homer in fifth inning and a run-producing double in the ninth. After missing 10 months due to a shoulder injury and returning June 19, Votto needed about 40 plate appearances to get his timing down. His batting average sat at .143 (5-for-35, five walks, three HBP) on July 2, but the 39-year-old has hit safely in four straight since, going 7-for-15 with four extra-base hits and seven RBI.
