The Toronto Blue Jays have released pitcher Austin Voth for the second time this season, clearing a roster spot for rookie Hayden Juenger on Saturday.
The 33-year-old Voth joined the Blue Jays as a free agent on March 25 and made his first appearance April 9, pitching 2 2/3 innings before being cut. The team brought him back on April 11, and he pitched 3 1/3 innings Friday night before being released again.
Throughout his eight seasons in the major leagues, Voth has compiled a 17-19 record with a 4.77 ERA across 209 games, including 39 starts with four different teams. He spent his first five seasons with the Washington Nationals and played for Chiba Lotte in Japan last year.
Juenger, 25, is poised for his major league debut after posting a 1-2 record with a 3.15 ERA in 17 games at Triple-A Buffalo, including two starts.
