Austin Voth: Everything you need to know

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

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

The Blue Jays designated Voth for assignment Monday. 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.
