Impact Votto had been attempting a return to the majors with the Blue Jays, but his comeback attempt will now end after he slashed .143/.275/.214 across 51 plate appearances with Triple-A Buffalo. The six-time All-Star spent 17 seasons in the big leagues with the Reds, slashing .294/.409/.511 with 356 home runs and 1,144 RBI over his career, and he was named the NL's Most Valuable Player in 2010.

Shakes off ankle injury Votto (ankle) returned to action for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday and has 2-for-5 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs in three games since rejoining the club.

Impact Though Buffalo never placed Votto on its 7-day injured list, Votto had been out of action for three weeks before he was deployed as a pinch hitter Friday against Worcester. He served as a pinch hitter again Saturday, then started at designated hitter Sunday. Votto should eventually resume playing first base for Buffalo and will look to perform well enough at the plate to receive consideration for a promotion to Toronto. Though the 40-year-old first baseman wouldn't seem to be a fit on the roster for a non-contending Blue Jays squad, the organization may still be eager to give the Ontario native a final sendoff in front of his hometown team before a possible retirement this offseason.

Moves rehab up to Triple-A Votto (ankle) has been transferred to Triple-A Buffalo to continue his rehab assignment.

Impact Votto has participated in 16 rehab contests so far between Single-A Dunedin and the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate, going 8-for-43 with one home run and a 14:8 K:BB in 53 plate appearances. He seems to be feeling fine physically a this point, but Toronto would surely like to see better results before it considers adding Votto to the major-league roster. The 40-year-old could be tracking toward a return to the big leagues after the trade deadline.

Hitting off tee Votto (ankle) began hitting off a tee at extended spring training over the weekend, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Votto also continues to do defensive work as he comes back from a right ankle injury suffered in mid-March. The 40-year-old is slated to go through a full spring training build-up, so he'll remain at extended spring a while longer before eventually being assigned to a minor-league affiliate.

Starting defensive work Blue Jays manager John Schneider noted Monday that Votto (ankle) has started doing defensive work, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Votto is working his way through a right ankle injury he sustained in spring training. He will focus on defensive work for now and has not started hitting, per Hazel Mae of Sportsnet.

Impact As the 40-year-old won't even begin that progression until his ankle is fully healed, he isn't expected to see game action for another month or more. That could put Votto in line to make his Toronto debut in May, but whether he gets added to the big-league roster when ready will depend on how Daniel Vogelbach performs over the first month of the season.

Impact Votto rolled his right ankle in the dugout on Sunday and has been receiving treatment. There's no timetable for when he'll be ready for games again, but the fact that he's been cleared for on-field BP is a good sign. Votto is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Buffalo.
