Austin

Voth

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.

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.

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.

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.

Voth will get his second stint with Toronto in 2026 to provide some middle-inning depth. The 33-year-old gets the nod over Tanner Andrews, after Andrews was optioned to Buffalo to make room.

Voth returns to Toronto on a brand-new pact after electing free agency last week. The well-traveled 33-year-old made one relief appearance for the Blue Jays prior to being designated for assignment and passing through waivers unclaimed.

The 33-year-old hurler was designated for assignment earlier in the week. He passed through waivers unclaimed, then rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Buffalo, he chose to peddle his wares on the open market instead. Look for him to latch on elsewhere on what will presumably be a minor league pact.

Voth allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings this year but the Blue Jays wanted Josh Fleming up for length in the bullpen and had to free up a roster spot.

The Blue Jays made a series of roster moves on Sunday, with Voth getting added to the club’s 40-man roster in place of the injured Cody Ponce. It’s unclear if he’ll take Ponce’s spot in the rotation or if he’ll just add length to the bullpen for a few days while they sort it out. Either way, he can probably be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Voth was in camp with the White Sox this spring after pitching overseas in Japan last year. The 33-year-old veteran provides Toronto’s injury-depleted pitching staff with some additional emergency long relief depth at Triple-A Buffalo.
