Rest not an option for slumping Votto
(MLB.com Cincinnati Reds)

Reds All-Star first baseman Joey Votto has opened the second half extremely cold at the plate. Votto doesn`t know exactly why his production has dipped, but he doesn`t believe rest is the solution to the problem. His yearly goal, especially after missing time with injuries in 2012 and `14, is to play all 162 games.
