Both players were forced to leave the game last night. Votto because of being dizzy and Volquez because of back spasms. Hopefully they will be back real soon.
Two Reds starters exited Saturday night's game prematurely.
In the fourth inning, Reds first baseman Joey Votto left with a recurrence of the mild dizziness that held him out of Wednesday's game in Arizona, and two innings later, starting pitcher Edinson Volquez came out with mild spasms in his mid-back
Volquez recorded two flyouts before throwing six straight balls and walking off the mound in pain. Manager Dusty Baker and the team trainer visited with the pitcher, electing to bring in Mike Lincoln.
"It was like something grabbed my back," Volquez said. "It's tight right now. On the last three pitches I threw, I felt it, like, grab at me on both sides of my back."
Volquez was optimistic about making his next start.
"I hope so," Volquez said. "I hope it gets better for my next start. We'll see what happens."
