Joey Votto To Ease Into Hitting

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (shoulder) has been going through his strengthening program and has added on more hitting, according to manager David Bell.

Christian Walker Not In The Lineup On Sunday Against The Orioles

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (elbow) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles.

Josh Naylor Activated And Starting Sunday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman/designated hitter Josh Naylor (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list.
