Austin Voth Latest To Get Chance In Twins' Bullpen

[Steve Drumwright]

 

 

The next man up in the Minnesota Twins' bullpen shuffle is Austin Voth.

The right-hander had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, with the Twins sending right-hander Cody Laweryson down to St. Paul.

Voth was designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays, then latched on with the Twins on a minor-league contract on June 4. Voth made two appearances and pitched six innings for the Jays, giving up six runs on eight hits and five walks with just one strikeout. In three appearances at St. Paul, Voth surrendered nine runs (eight earned) on 14 hits with six walks and 17 strikeouts. Voth originally signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox this offseason before being released late in spring training.

Laweryson has pitched in 16 innings over 14 games, posting a 5.06 ERA (4.97 FIP) with seven walks and 18 strikeouts.

So, Lawrence part two? What does Raya need to do, exactly?

I guess they wanted someone who can mop up about 3 innings and be DFA'd later (he has no options)? Odd move, and even stranger is Voth's career the past couple years - he was a decent reliever in 2024 for Seattle, but then played for a Japanese league team in 2025 and came back stateside this year to be a starter at AAA. Huh.
