Joey Votto sure knows how to make an instant impression, going deep on the first pitch he faced as a member of his hometown Toronto Blue Jays. The veteran first baseman lined a 392-foot homer to left-center off Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler in the first inning Sunday in Clearwater, Florida, in his inaugural spring training game with Toronto. Granted, there was some debate about whether the ball actually went out, and Votto momentarily stopped at second base.
Judge, who recently had an MRI of his abdomen come back clean, hasn’t taken batting practice on the infield or played in a game since a week ago when he struck out in both at-bats against Atlanta. Reliever Tommy Kahnle threw 20 pitches over one inning in a simulated game. He is expected to miss at least the first week of the regular season because of a right shoulder injury.
