Austin Voth - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs MiLB deal with Rangers The Rangers signed Voth to a minor-league contract Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Voth elected free agency Sunday after getting designated for assignment by the Twins on June 24. The right-hander only appeared in three games total at the major league level for the Twins and Blue Jays in 2026. He had made 11 starts in the minors for the two organizations. He has yet to go past five innings pitched in his minor-league starts and has only appeared as a reliever in the majors for 2026.

Becomes free agent Voth elected free agency Friday after clearing waivers, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Voth will look to land a minor-league deal in free agency after the Twins dropped him from their 40-man roster earlier in the week. Between abbreviated stints in the majors with Toronto and Minnesota this season, Voth has allowed 11 earned runs on 19 hits and six walks while striking out three batters 10 innings.

JUNE 28 • ROTOWIRE

Moves off 40-man roster The Twins designated Voth for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The Twins called up Voth from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday and put him to work right away, deploying in bulk relief behind left-handed opener Kendry Rojas in the second game of their series with the Dodgers. The right-hander took it on the chin in the Twins' 12-3 loss, yielding six runs (five earned) on 11 hits and one walk over four innings. Since Voth wasn't going to be available for at least a few days after the 96-pitch appearance, the Twins dropped him from the 40-man roster to clear up a spot in the bullpen for right-hander Marco Raya, who was recalled from Triple-A.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Added to roster The Twins selected Voth's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Impact Voth was just inked to a minor-league contract earlier this month and is now with the big club after turning in a 5.40 ERA and 17:6 K:BB over 13.1 innings with St. Paul. He will provide length in the Minnesota bullpen and is a good bet to pitch Tuesday versus the Dodgers at some point after starter Kendry Rojas, who is not fully stretched out.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Nets minors deal from Twins The Twins signed Voth to a minor-league contract Thursday, Theodore Tollefson of Zone Coverage reports.

Impact Voth had opted for free agency earlier this week after being removed from the Blue Jays' 40-man roster. He had to settle for a minor-league contract, but Voth has a good chance to eventually get a chance in the majors as part of an underwhelming Twins relief corps.

Reaches free agency Voth elected free agency Monday.

Impact Voth will hit the open market for the third time in 2026. The White Sox first released him coming out of spring training, and Voth has now elected free agency on two occasions after the Blue Jays designated him for assignment. Voth's latest stint with Toronto lasted just three days, with the Blue Jays dropping him from their 40-man roster after he was lit up for five runs on five hits and four walks over 3.1 innings in a bulk-relief role last Friday in Baltimore. The 33-year-old could once again find his way back to Toronto on a minor-league deal if he doesn't fetch a more appealing offer in free agency.

JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster Toronto designated Voth for assignment Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Voth was brought up to the big-league roster Wednesday and gave up five runs on five hits and four walks over 3.1 innings in bulk relief Friday. He's subsequently lost his place on the the 40-man roster in favor of Hayden Juenger, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday in a corresponding transaction.

Struggles in bulk-relief role Voth allowed five runs on five hits and four walks without striking out a batter across 3.1 innings during the Blue Jays' 6-5 win over the Orioles on Friday.

Impact Adam Macko served as the Blue Jays' opener for Friday's game, with Voth coming in to secure the final out of the second inning. However, Voth struggled over his next three frames, yielding two runs in the third before allowing solo home runs to Jackson Holliday, Pete Alonso and Samuel Basallo across the fourth and fifth innings. Luckily for Voth, he escaped with the no-decision after the Blue Jays scored six runs over the seventh and eighth frames. It was just the second major-league outing of the season for Voth, but he's given up six runs on eight hits, five walks and three wild pitches with just one strikeout across six innings.

MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Added to bullpen The Blue Jays selected Voth's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Impact Voth will provide the bullpen with some protection after the Blue Jays used five pitchers in Tuesday's win over the Marlins. He's grabbed the roster spot vacated by Tanner Andrews.

MAY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Blue Jays Voth agreed to a minor-league contract with Toronto on Monday.

Impact Voth has had a busy first month or so of the 2026 campaign, as he was released by the White Sox in late March, and then signed to a minor-league deal by Toronto. He was promoted to the majors for one appearance April 5, but was designated for assignment one day later, and elected free agency Thursday after clearing waivers. Voth will now return to the Blue Jays on a minor-league deal and figures to serve as pitching depth at Triple-A Buffalo.

Opts for free agency Voth cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact After being DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Monday to make room for Josh Fleming, Voth will now explore his options in the open market. The 33-year-old allowed one earned run in 2.2 innings during his lone appearance with the Jays and posted a 3.69 ERA over 61 innings during his most recent full season in the majors in 2024, so he should be able to secure at least a minor-league deal.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped from 40-man roster The Blue Jays designated Voth for assignment Monday.

Impact Just one day after being called up from Triple-A Buffalo, Voth will surrender his spot on Toronto's 40-man roster. The right-hander will be replaced by lefty Josh Fleming, whose contract was selected from Buffalo in a corresponding move. Fleming will provide the Blue Jays with a fresh arm capable of covering multiple frames out of the bullpen after Voth yielded one earned run on three hits and one walk across 2.2 innings during his Toronto debut in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the White Sox.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Getting chance with Blue Jays Toronto selected Voth's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Impact After Voth was released by the White Sox on March 20, the Blue Jays scooped him up on a minor-league contract. In one start with Buffalo this season, the right-hander tossed three innings, allowing two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out two batters. Voth has worked both as a starter and a reliever during his time in the majors, but given that Toronto stated that he'd be available to pitch Sunday, it appears he's slated for a bullpen role.

Local reliever, former Mariner defects to the enemy by signing with Blue Jays Washington native and former Mariners reliever Austin Voth signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays last week.

APRIL 1 • SODOMOJO.COM

Released by CWS The White Sox released Voth on Friday.

Impact Voth spent the 2025 campaign in Japan before signing an NRI deal with the White Sox in February with hopes of making the big-league bullpen. He made one appearance in spring training, allowing two runs (one earned) over two innings of relief.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Signs NRI deal with ChiSox Voth signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Friday and received an invitation to spring training, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Voth will return to the United States to audition for the White Sox after spending 2025 in Japan, where he posted a 3.88 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 130 innings. The 33-year-old righty owns a 4.70 ERA in his seven-year MLB career, but he could still capture a spot in Chicago's Opening Day bullpen with a strong spring.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Signs overseas Voth signed with the Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball on Sunday, Yakyu Cosmopolitan reports.

Impact Voth was non-tendered by the Mariners in November. The 32-year-old righty had been working as a reliever the past two seasons in MLB, but he'll likely stretch back out in Japan. He had a 3.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 61:18 K:BB in 61 innings over 68 appearances in 2024.

Headed to free agency Seattle non-tendered Voth on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Voth signed with the Mariners in January on a one-year deal after playing for the Orioles in 2023. Voth posted a 3.69 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 61 innings in 2024, which were his best numbers since 2019 when he played for the Nationals. The 32-year-old will enter free agency and should garner plenty of interest from teams looking to bolster its bullpen with right-handed pitching.

Hit with fifth loss Monday Voth (2-5) took the loss against the Athletics on Monday, allowing a game-winning solo home run to the only batter he faced.

Impact Voth dueled with Shea Langeliers for six pitches to open the bottom of the ninth in a 4-4 tie, and the backstop ultimately got the better of the battle when he launched a 418-foot shot to left field to walk it off for the Athletics. It was the second homer allowed by Voth in his last five outings and snapped a three-appearance scoreless streak that had temporarily lowered the right-hander's ERA to under 3.00. Despite the stumble Monday, Voth retains an impressive 3.13 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 61 appearances, numbers he's complemented with 13 holds.
