Blue Jays Select Hayden Juenger, Designate Austin Voth for Assignment

The roster change opens a DFA window for the veteran, adding immediate Triple‑A relief depth to help manage the team's bullpen workload.

Overview

  • The Blue Jays announced on Saturday via their official X account that RHP Hayden Juenger had his contract selected and was added to the active roster while RHP Austin Voth was designated for assignment ahead of the game at Camden Yards.
  • Juenger is a 2021 sixth‑round pick who was promoted from Triple‑A Buffalo after posting a 3.15 ERA and three saves in 20 innings this season, and he is expected to provide multi‑inning bullpen depth immediately.
  • Voth is an eight‑year major‑league pitcher with a 17‑19 career record and a 4.77 ERA who struggled in his brief Blue Jays stint this year, allowing six earned runs over six innings across two appearances and now faces the DFA process.
  • Designating Voth for assignment removes him from the 26‑man roster and begins the seven‑to‑ten day window in which the club can trade him, place him on waivers, or release him.
  • The move reflects routine in‑season bullpen churn as teams call up minor‑league relievers to protect arms and balance workload, and it could trigger a waiver claim or short‑term bullpen adjustments for Toronto.
