The Twins signed right-hander\u00a0Austin Voth<\/a> to a minor league contract. The move was announced by their Triple-A affiliate in St. Paul, as he\u2019ll start tonight\u2019s game for the Saints.<\/p>\n

Voth elected free agency on Tuesday after being outrighted by the Blue Jays. The 33-year-old had two very brief stops on Toronto\u2019s big league roster. He made two long relief appearances, giving up six runs in as many innings. Voth surrendered eight hits, walked five batters, and threw three wild pitches while recording one strikeout.<\/p>\n

The big league work wasn\u2019t impressive, but Voth pitched well out of the Triple-A rotation. He made eight starts there and turned in a 2.90 earned run average, albeit while averaging less than four innings per appearance. Voth had a below-average 17% strikeout rate compared to a tidy 6.8% walk percentage. He doesn\u2019t have big stuff but has mixed five pitches and been around the strike zone.<\/p>\n

Minnesota pulled the plug on\u00a0Simeon Woods Richardson<\/a> with last week\u2019s DFA. They traded him to Toronto for cash yesterday.\u00a0Bailey Ober<\/a> recently went down with a mild flexor strain that\u2019ll shut him down completely for 10-14 weeks. He\u2019ll be on the injured list for most or all of June.\u00a0Kendry Rojas<\/a> also recently suffered a triceps strain and\u00a0Mick Abel<\/a> has been out since the middle of April.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re currently operating with a four-man rotation of Joe Ryan<\/a>,\u00a0Taj Bradley<\/a>,\u00a0Zebby Matthews<\/a> and Connor Prielipp<\/a>. Rookie\u00a0Mike Paredes<\/a> is with the big league club in long relief but could draw into the rotation. John Klein<\/a> is the only depth starter on optional assignment. Voth is the only other starter on the Triple-A team with MLB experience and will probably get a look as a long man at some point this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Twins signed right-hander\u00a0Austin Voth to a minor league contract.
