Votto has been out since Spring Training and has been slowly making his way back, playing in his first game with Dunedin last week. Votto is still dealing with some lower back tightness but is expected to play in some FCL games this week.
While no one with the Blue Jays management has mentioned what the plan is for Votto once he is healthy, as the current roster continues to struggle, there is a slight chance he gets a shot in the Majors this season.
