Austin Voth - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns from injured list Voth (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Voth has been on the shelf for more than two months with a sore right elbow, but he's ready to go now after making eight rehab appearances. The righty will give Orioles manager Brandon Hyde a reliever capable of throwing multiple innings.

Transferred to 60-day IL The Orioles transferred Voth to the 60-day injured list with right elbow discomfort on Monday.

Impact Prior to being transferred to the 60-day injured list, the 31-year-old was on the 15-day injured list. Voth has not made an appearance in the majors since June 13. In a corresponding move, the Orioles claimed pitcher Jacob Webb off waivers from the Angels.

Moving rehab to Triple-A Voth (elbow) will move up to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday as he continues his rehab assignment, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Voth has been out since mid-June with right elbow discomfort but seems to be nearing a return. The 31-year-old has collected a 4.94 ERA over 23 relief appearances with the Orioles this season.

Starts rehab assignment Voth (elbow) began a rehab assignment with the Orioles' Florida Coast League affiliate Thursday.

Impact Voth tossed a perfect inning in his first appearance with the FCL Orioles. It's not clear how many more rehab games he might require before rejoining the O's bullpen. Voth has been out since mid-June with right elbow discomfort.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing side sessions Voth (elbow) has been throwing side sessions at the Orioles' complex in Florida, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact If all goes according to plan, Voth will begin game progression sometime next week. There's still no telling how long it will be before Voth returns to Baltimore's bullpen, but he seems to be at least a few weeks out. The 31-year-old righty has been on the injured list since June 14 with right elbow discomfort.

Plays catch Monday Voth (elbow) resumed throwing Monday on flat ground, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Voth entered into a rest and treatment period when he hit the 15-day injured list in mid-June due to elbow discomfort, but he's on the right track again and could perhaps return to the Orioles' bullpen before the All-Star break. He had registered a 4.94 ERA and 31:14 K:BB across 31 innings of relief prior to the IL stint.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down for one week Voth (elbow) has been given anti-inflammatories and will be shut down for one week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Voth landed on the injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation, an issue which has apparently been bothering him since spring training, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. The Orioles seem confident the injury is minor and Voth could be back when his 15 days are up.

JUNE 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved with elbow discomfort The Orioles placed Voth on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow discomfort.

Impact Voth will be shut down after he recorded just one out while allowing two earned runs on three hits and one walk in a relief appearance in Tuesday's 11-6 win over the Blue Jays. The Orioles will presumably send Voth in for further testing to determine whether he's dealing with an elbow strain or anything more severe than soreness or inflammation. Baltimore called up right-hander Reed Garrett from Triple-A Norfolk to take Voth's spot in the bullpen.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes extra-inning loss Voth (1-2) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning, taking the extra-inning loss Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Impact Voth was called on for another short assignment Tuesday, his second since serving as a primary pitcher May 31 versus the Guardians. This one didn't go particularly well, and he has now given up six runs (four earned) over nine innings across his last five appearances. The Orioles haven't revealed their rotation for this weekend's series versus the Royals -- it's still possible Voth could make a start or serve as a bulk reliever in one of those three games. There's also a chance Baltimore recalls Cole Irvin, who has pitched to a 3.21 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB over 42 innings at Triple-A Norfolk. Irvin hasn't pitched for the Tides since May 31, and the affiliate's pitching plans beyond Wednesday are yet to be determined. Voth would likely return to the bullpen full-time if Irvin is promoted.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes relief appearance Voth struck out one in a perfect inning of relief during Sunday's 8-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Voth made his last appearance versus Cleveland in a bulk relief role, but Baltimore is skipping his turn in the rotation thanks to days off last Thursday and this Monday. This was his first scoreless outing in his last four appearances. Voth has been more effective as a reliever, and he may still follow an opener in his next game, which is tentatively scheduled to come over the weekend at home versus the Royals. As such, Sunday's appearance seems to be just to keep him on schedule. He has a 4.55 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB through 29.2 innings.

JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in primary role Voth allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings Wednesday versus the Guardians. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Voth has served as a long reliever for much of the season, but he was tabbed for a primary-pitcher assignment behind opener Keegan Akin in this contest. It didn't go very well, as Voth struggled in the third and fourth innings, and the rest of the Orioles' bullpen didn't fare much better. Over 14 innings in May, Voth pitched to a respectable 3.86 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP. He's at a 4.71 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB through 28.2 innings overall. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch next week in Milwaukee if he continues to fill the fifth-starter role opened up by Grayson Rodriguez's demotion to Triple-A Norfolk. Voth could also end up back in the bullpen if the Orioles opt to give Cole Irvin another chance in the rotation soon.

JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as bulk reliever Voth will serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Keegan Akin in Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Though the Orioles are bypassing him for a start, Voth will still effectively be taking the rotation spot of Grayson Rodriguez, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk last week. Akin hasn't covered more than three innings in any of his appearances in the majors or minors this season, so he's unlikely to pitch more than once through the Cleveland batting order before turning the game over to Voth. In his most recent relief outing five days ago against the Rangers, Voth covered 3.2 innings, so he should be able to provide the Orioles with a decent amount of length out of the bullpen.

MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joining rotation Wednesday Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that Voth will either start or serve as a bulk reliever in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact The rotation spot had previously been occupied by Grayson Rodriguez, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk over the weekend. All 18 of Voth's appearances this season have been in relief, although he has plenty of past starting experience and went 3.2 innings in his last outing May 26.

MAY 27, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Awarded win Sunday Voth (1-1) walked two and struck out two over two scoreless and hitless innings, earning the win Sunday over the Tigers.

Impact This was just the third time in 10 appearances this season that Voth wasn't changed with a run. All three of his scoreless efforts have come over his last four outings. The right-hander has a 5.52 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 14.2 innings as a low-leverage reliever this year. He's also picked up two holds. Voth's biggest problem has been home runs -- he gave up five long balls over his first five appearances but has since kept the ball in the yard.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss Wednesday Voth (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits and struck out three over 1.1 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Rangers.

Impact Voth was responsible for Josh Jung's tiebreaking two-run home run in the sixth inning as well as a Nathaniel Lowe RBI double in the seventh. The 30-year-old Voth was thought to be in the mix to take Kyle Bradish's (foot) place in the rotation, but the Orioles instead opted to call up top prospect Grayson Rodriguez, who allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over five innings in his major-league debut. It looks like Voth will likely spend much of 2023 in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen. He's given up four runs, including two homers, across his first 2.1 innings this season.

Could be needed for spot start Voth is an option to start for the Orioles on Tuesday versus the Rangers after scheduled starter Tyler Wells was needed in relief Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Voth is currently stationed in the Orioles' bullpen and made one one-inning relief appearance Saturday. He was stretched out in spring training, though, and the hope is that he could give the O's a little length. Baltimore could also go with Kyle Gibson on Tuesday on normal rest and pitch Voth Wednesday in Gibson's old slot.

Role not yet defined Voth's experience as a reliever could lead to him starting 2023 in the bullpen, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Voth started 17 of his 41 appearances between the Nationals and the Orioles last season, with most of his success coming in Baltimore. With a crowded competition for the rotation, it would make sense for the Orioles to move the 30-year-old to the bullpen at the start of the campaign. He would likely fill a long-relief role with the ability to make spot starts since he's stretching out in camp.

Voth, Orioles avoid arbitration, agree at $1.85 million

Right-hander Austin Voth avoided a salary arbitration hearing with the Baltimore Orioles by agreeing to a $1.85 million, one-year contract

JANUARY 26, 2023 • Associated Press

Avoids arb with '24 club option Voth has avoided arbitration with the Orioles and signed a one-year contract Thursday, which includes a club option for 2024.

Impact Voth will be guaranteed $1.85 million with this new deal, and the 2024 option is worth $2.45 million with escalators that could add another $500,000. The 30-year-old right-hander struggled out of the gate last season with Washinton before moving on to Baltimore and registering a sharp 3.04 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 17 starts and five relief appearances covering 83 innings. He projects to operate in a swingman role again for the O's in 2023, shuffling between long relief and emergency starting/opening duties.
