Fantasy Impact
Votto underwent left shoulder surgery in August and isn't quite ready to begin the 2023 season. The 39-year-old is coming off the worst season of his career at the plate as Votto hit just .205 with 11 homers and a .689 OPS across 91 games last season. Will Myers should see the lion's share of starts at first base while Votto is sidelined.
