Update at 2:50pm ET

Mark Sheldon of Reds.com confirms that Joey Votto has COVID-19.

Per MLB protocols, Joey Votto will be out of camp for at least 10 days. Anyone who has been in close contact with him will have to quarantine for 7 days.

Original article continues below:

Joey Votto last played on Sunday and hasnt been seen since. Now we know why he has been absent from camp, though in the current times no one really even noticed until he wasnt in the lineup again on Wednesday.

Hopefully Joey Votto can return quickly and be healthy. He was having a good spring thus far, hitting .444/.500/.556 in his four games played while taking a different approach than he usually has in the spring and being more aggressive at the plate instead of taking pitches just to see more of them to try and prepare for the season.
