A bad back will keep Joey Votto out of action for a little while longer.

The Cincinnati Reds have placed the All-Star first baseman on the 10-day injured list as he continues to deal with issues stemming from lower back tightness.

The 35-year old, who currently has a six-game hitting streak, has missed the past three games due to his injured back.

He is hitting .262 with 12 homers, 39 RBI and a .762 OPS in 113 games this season.
