Joey Votto underwent surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder on Friday, but the Cincinnati Reds still believe he will be able to play next spring. However, there was more damage than anticipated. After the Reds’ most recent road trip earlier this month, Votto got an MRI, during which he discovered he had a torn rotator cuff. Numerous medical professionals advocated surgery, particularly if he wanted to avoid missing the start of the 2023 season.

“Joey this morning had successful surgery to repair his left rotator cuff and bicep,” Reds General Manager Nick Krall said in a statement Friday. “The surgery was a little more than expected. The injury definitely limited the use of his left shoulder and affected his performance, but we expect he will be able to participate in spring training and be ready for the 2023 season.”

The Reds and Votto are optimistic that the past National League MVP will be fit to play again in the upcoming spring. Votto is expected to continue entertaining supporters on social media in the interim, according to all signs. Votto posted on Instagram and Twitter following surgery that received a lot of feedback:

Joey, no you don’t suck. However, the veteran’s campaign has been quite difficult. Joey Votto has a career average of.297 but is only hitting.205 this year. A career low, that, he only hit 11 home runs while slugging.

Joey Votto is anticipated to be ready for the upcoming season, which is more encouraging. His current contract with Cincinnati is up in 2018, and he has a player option for 2024. However, he will turn 39 next month, so it’s probable that 2023 could be his final season before hanging up his spikes and leaving baseball.
