CINCINNATI — Reds legend Joey Votto is one step closer to the big leagues.

The six-time All-Star was promoted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Friday. The Blue Jays infielder will start after missing significant time with ankle and back injuries.

Votto appeared in one spring training game for Toronto, homering in his only at-bat. He appeared in 13 games in Single-A before being promoted. The Blue Jays signed him to a minor league deal on March 9.

Votto is one of the best players in Reds' history. He appeared in 2,056 career games for Cincinnati, finishing with 2,135 hits, 1,365 walks, 356 home runs and 1,144 RBI. He posted a .294 batting average and a .920 OPS. He posted a .202/.314/.433 slash line in 65 games last season.

Welcome to the Herd, Joey Votto! ⭐️

6x All Star is scheduled to make his Herd debut tonight as Bisons host @swbrailriders at 7:05pm for a Honda fridaynightbash!
