Pitcher Austin Voth, who had a brief stint with the Toronto Blue Jays this season, has been released by the Texas Rangers after making just one start for Triple-A Round Rock. This marks Voth's third cut this season, prompting speculation that he may pursue a contract overseas, potentially returning to Nippon Professional Baseball, where he had a productive 2025 season. Voth's performances this year have been disappointing, allowing 12 runs in 10 innings across various brief MLB appearances. As he leaves the Rangers, it appears Voth may prioritize continuing his career outside Major League Baseball rapidly.
