    Rangers released RHP Austin Voth.

    Voth was just signed to a minor league deal a couple of weeks ago and apparently requested the move, so we’re going to assume he’s on his way back to Asia. The 34-year-old pitched for Chiba Lotte in Japan last season, posting a 3.96 ERA in 125 innings. He’d given up 11 earned runs in 10 innings for the Blue Jays and Twins this season.

    Voth heads overseas to pursue a more lucrative financial opportunity after let out of his minor league pact with the Rangers last week. The 34-year-old journeyman righty allowed 11 runs over 10 innings between the Blue Jays and Twins earlier this season. He’s made 210 appearances in the big leagues since 2018.
  • TEX Relief Pitcher #30
    Voth elected free agency from the Twins last week rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A St. Paul. The 34-year-old right-hander has made three appearances in the big leagues this season, posting a 9.90 ERA, 2.50 WHIP and a 3/6 K/BB ratio over 10 innings between the Twins and Blue Jays.
  • MIN Relief Pitcher #30
    The 34-year-old hurler was designated for assignment earlier in the week and passed through waivers unclaimed. He’ll continue to serve as extra bullpen depth for the Twins at the Triple-A level.
  • MIN Relief Pitcher #30
    Voth was used as a bulk reliever on Tuesday with Joe Ryan scratched from his start. Voth allowed six runs (five earned) in four-plus innings and will now be let go to make room for a fresh bullpen arm. He will likely clear waivers and return to the Twins on a minor league deal.
  • MIN Starting Pitcher #60
    Rojas was making his first appearance since missing three weeks with elbow inflammation and coming off the IL on Sunday. He pitched only 1 1/3 innings in his one rehab appearance, so no one was expecting him to go deep at all tonight. Austin Voth replaced him in the third and went on to give up six runs — five earned — in four-plus innings, which will probably lead to his removal from the roster on Wednesday.
  • MIN Relief Pitcher #30
    Voth was signed by the Twins at the start of June after he was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays. The 33-year-old will be a middle-inning arm with Minnesota, and it seems very unlikely that he’ll be an option for saves while with the club.
  • MIN Relief Pitcher #30
    Voth exercised the opt-out clause in his deal with the Blue Jays on Tuesday and it didn’t take him long to land on his feet elsewhere. He probably won’t spent much time at Triple-A St. Paul before earning an opportunity to work out of the Twins’ bullpen.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #30
    The odds are fairly high that Voth return to Toronto on a new minor league pact after passing through waivers unclaimed over the weekend. The 33-year-old journeyman allowed five runs over 3 1/3 innings during a relief appearances against the Orioles last Friday. He’s merely emergency organizational depth at this stage of his career.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #30
    Voth has been jettisoned from Toronto’s pitching staff for the second time this season after allowing five runs over 3 1/3 innings during a bulk relief outing against the Orioles on Friday night. The 33-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and might stick around with the Blue Jays as emergency depth.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    Macko drew the starting assignment in place of an injured Dylan Cease (hamstring) and managed to record five outs before turning things over to bulk reliever Austin Voth, who surrendered five runs over 3 1/3 frames. He figures to get at least one or two additional turns in Toronto’s rotation before Cease is ready to come off the injured list.
