Voth was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Voth began the season in Washington's bullpen but posted a 10.13 ERA and 2.14 WHIP in 18.2 innings before being designated for assignment by the Nationals next week. Although the right-hander will land a spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster, he's unlikely to pitch in many high-leverage situations with his new club.

Voth was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Voth has fallen out of favor after struggling to a 10.13 ERA in 18.2 innings of relief this season. His 3.30 ERA in 43.2 innings back in 2019 continues to fade further into the rearview mirror, leaving him as a 29-year-old with a career 5.70 ERA, a combination which may make it tough for him to generate much interest on waivers.

Voth allowed one hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning of relief during Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Entering the game in the seventh inning with the Nationals down 4-2, Voth put together his best outing of the season to date. After stumbling out of the gate and coughing up six runs (five earned) over his first three appearances, the right-hander has turned things around with a 0.00 ERA and 6:0 K:BB over his last four innings. Voth will need to prove his control and command issues are behind him before he'll work his way into a higher-leverage role, however -- between 2020 and 2021, he served up 24 homers in only 107 big-league innings while issuing 46 free passes.

Voth and the Nationals agreed to terms on a one-year, $875,000 deal Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The means the two sides won't have to go through arbitration. Voth pitched almost exclusively out of the bullpen for the first time last season but didn't have much success, struggling to a 5.34 ERA in 57.1 innings while walking a carer-high 11.3 percent of opposing batters.

Voth (3-1) took the loss Friday as the Nationals fell 6-2 to the Mets, coughing up four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks in the 10th inning. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander gave up an RBI single to the first batter he faced in the 10th, scoring Francisco Lindor as the phantom runner, and things spiraled out of control from there for Voth. It's the fourth time in his last eight appearances he's been tagged for multiple runs, and on the season the 29-year-old carries a 4.88 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 48:21 K:BB through 48 innings.

The Nationals activated Voth (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The righty was struggling considerably before testing positive for the coronavirus in late July, as he allowed eight earned runs in his last 2.2 innings. On the season, Voth sports a 4.81 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 43 innings. Javy Guerra was designated for assignment in a corresponding move Sunday.

Voth (undisclosed) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Voth has been on the COVID-19 injured list since late July. He's pitched almost exclusively as a reliever this season, which may mean he doesn't need a particularly lengthy rehab assignment.

Voth (undisclosed) is nearing his return from the COVID-19 injured list, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Voth landed on the COVID-19 IL on July 29, but the Nationals are optimistic that he's close to clearing the league's health and safety protocols. The right-hander will likely head to the Nationals' spring training facility in West Palm Beach prior to rejoining the major-league club to give him time to build back up in a controlled environment.

Voth was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Voth returned from a broken nose in mid-June, but he's struggled to limit run production recently and has given up eight runs in 2.2 innings across his last three appearances. It's not clear whether the right-hander has tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll be away from the team while he's in the league's health and safety protocols.

Voth (nose) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander underwent surgery after suffering a broken nose on a hit by pitch June 6, and he'll rejoin the Nationals after spending little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Voth has a 2.73 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB across 29.2 innings and should work out of the bullpen, though he could be in the mix for spot starts depending how long Max Scherzer (groin) and Stephen Strasburg (neck) are sidelined.
