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

Impact Votto now has homers in back-to-back games following an 0-for-18 slump over his previous six contests. Wednesday's three-hit effort was his first since June 23. Votto will look to build on his solid performance, as he's had a slow start to the year following off-season rotator cuff surgery. The veteran first-baseman is slashing .205/.340/.545 with five homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored through his first 53 plate appearances.

Pops two homers in win Votto went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's victory over Atlanta.
Impact After a long recovery from rotator cuff surgery and a stalled rehab assignment earlier in the season, Votto has returned to the Reds with a bang. The 39-year-old is now 4-for-13 with three home runs and seven RBI since coming off the injured list. He's batting lower in the order than he has throughout most of his career -- Votto has hit sixth in all four games since his return -- but it's a good thing that he doesn't have to carry as much of the offensive burden at this point in his career.

Homers in return Votto went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a walk in Monday's win against Colorado.
Impact Votto made his season debut Monday after multiple surgeries and wasted no time making an impact, drilling a solo shot in the fifth inning and later adding a two-run single. He struggled with a .173/.340/.333 slash line in 22 rehab games with Triple-A Louisville prior to his MLB return. Between that, his .689 OPS in 2022 and the Reds suddenly looking like a playoff contender, it's unclear what Votto's role will be in the immediate future.
