The Minnesota Twins signed veteran reliever Austin Voth to a minor-league deal, according to the team's transaction log. The Twins assigned Voth, 33, to Triple-A St. Paul. He pitched six innings across two appearances with the Blue Jays this season , allowing six earned runs on eight hits and five walks.
In 366 career MLB innings, Voth has posted a 4.77 ERA with 344 strikeouts and 134 walks. Just two seasons ago, the veteran posted a solid 3.69 ERA with 61 strikeouts and 18 walks in 61 innings for the Seattle Mariners . Voth has also logged innings with the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles . He spent most of his career (2018-22) with Washington.
Voth relies on six pitches: a mid-80s cutter, a low-90s four-seamer, a mid-70s curveball, a high-80s sweeper, a low-90s sinker and a mid-80s split finger.
The Minnesota Twins signed right-handed pitchers Hunter Gregory and Jake Covey to minor-league deals. The Twins assigned Gregory to Double-A Wichita. After spending five seasons (2021-25) in the Toronto Blue Jays organization, Gregory made 12 appearances for the Atlantic League's York Revolution this season, posting a 2.63 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings. While his results with the Revolution this year were solid, it's worth noting that he had a poor 1.463 WHIP.
Gregory, 27, put up strong stats for Toronto's Double-A affiliate last season, posting a 2.84 ERA with a 25.1% strikeout rate in 44 1/3 innings. However, he struggled in Triple-A, recording a 14.29 ERA with a 18.8% strikeout rate and a 25.0% walk rate in 11 1/3 innings. The Blue Jays released Gregory in March, then he signed a deal with the Revolution.
Gregory throws five pitches: a low-to-mid-90s four-seam fastball, a high-80s changeup, a low-to-mid-90s sinker, a low-to-mid-80s sweeper and a slider that ranges from the low to the high 80s. Overall, he has a career 5.67 ERA with 264 strikeouts and 112 walks over 230 1/3 innings in the minors.
Covey, 24, had been pitching with Glacier in the Pioneer League. He posted a 1.50 ERA with 14 strikeouts and two walks in 12 innings across two starts. He spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons with the Division II Concordia Eagles, recording a 3.03 ERA with 188 strikeouts and 41 walks in 163 1/3 innings over 24 appearances (22 starts).
