Tue Mar 2612:01Mets Release Luke Voit
The New York Mets released first baseman Luke Voit on Tuesday after he had just a .455 OPS in 14 Grapefruit League games this spring. It was announced on Monday that Voit wouldn't make the Mets' Opening Day roster, and now he'll be looking for a new organization to play for in 2024. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger led all of baseball in home runs in the shortened 2020 season with 22. He hit 22 home runs in 135 games in 2022 with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals but then played in only 22 games in 2023 with the Milwaukee Brewers and hit .221 (15-for-68) with no homers and four RBI. Voit should be able to latch on with another team, but it will likely be on a minor-league contract.

Sun Mar 2400:11Jose Iglesias, Luke Voit Won't Make Mets Opening Day Roster
The New York Mets have informed Jose Iglesias, Tomas Nido, and Luke Voit that they did not make the team's Opening Day roster. Voit signed a minor-league contract with the Mets in February but failed to latch onto the team's main roster after hitting .097 with a home run and four RBI over 31 spring at-bats. Iglesias had a solid spring, but it wasn't enough to make the team's Opening Day roster. This spring, he hit .278 with a home run and three RBI over 36 at-bats. Both Voit and Iglesias will look to latch onto another team. Neither Iglesias nor Voit will provide much fantasy value even if they sign with another club ahead of 2024 fantasy drafts.

Mon Feb 1912:37Mets Agree On Minors Deal With Luke Voit
The New York Mets agreed to terms on a minor-league deal with an invitation to major-league spring training on Monday with free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Luke Voit. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger will return to the Mets after finishing the 2023 campaign playing for Triple-A Syracuse, where he had a strong 1.058 OPS with 14 home runs in 37 games. The veteran slugger played in 22 big-league games with the Milwaukee Brewers earlier in the year before getting released. He went 15-for-68 (.221) with no home runs and four RBI in his short stint in Milwaukee. Voit will open the 2024 season providing bench depth for the Mets, and there's a good chance he'll return to Syracuse.

Thu Aug 3 202314:18Luke Voit Opts Out Of Minors Deal With Mets
New York Mets first baseman Luke Voit has opted out of his minor-league deal with the club. Voit signed a minor-league deal with the Mets after being released by the Brewers in early June and has absolutely raked at Triple-A Syracuse. The 2020 MLB home run leader smacked 14 homers along with a 1.058 OPS across just 37 games at the minors' highest level with the Mets, figures that he hopes will earn him a big-league deal with a contender down the stretch as he has now hit the free-agent market once again. Voit hit 22 homers with a .710 OPS and a 102 wRC+ between the Nationals and Padres last season but has still been unable to find a full-time role on a big league club in the 2023 season.

Mon Jun 12 202314:18Mets Sign Luke Voit To Minor-League Deal
The New York Mets signed free-agent first baseman Luke Voit to a minor-league deal on Monday. He will join Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. Voit has fallen far since leading the majors with 22 home runs in the COVID-shortened 2020 season with the New York Yankees. He hit just 11 homers the following season and had 22 total long balls in 2022 with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals. With Pete Alonso (wrist) potentially missing the next three to four weeks with a left-wrist injury, Voit will give the Mets some more first base depth behind Mark Vientos and Mark Canha. Voit hit just .221 (15-for-68) with three doubles, no homers, four RBI and 27 strikeouts in 22 games for the Milwaukee Brewers this year before he was ultimately released.

Fri Jun 2 202315:02Luke Voit Released By Brewers
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit has been released by the organization on Friday. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week, but will now head to free agency. The 32-year-old batted just .221/.284/.265 with zero homers and four RBI in 17 games before landing on the injured list. He has put together multiple 20-plus home run seasons, so he should be able to find another organization. Fantasy managers can use a wait-and -see approach here as his fantasy value will depend on where he lands.

Mon May 29 202322:27Luke Voit Designated For Assignment Monday
The Milwaukee Brewers activated first baseman Luke Voit (neck) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and then designated him for assignment. Voit hit .221 (15-for-68) with three doubles, no home runs, four RBI, two stolen bases, five runs scored and 27 strikeouts in 74 plate appearances and 22 games for the Brew Crew before he landed on the injured list. For now, the Brewers will stick with Darin Ruf as a platoon option at first base and designated hitter, although Voit could stick around in the organization if he clears waivers. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger led the big leagues in home runs (22) in the COVID-shortened 2020 season (56 games), but he slugged 22 homers again last year in 135 games with the Padres and Nationals.

Sun May 21 202301:28Luke Voit Sent On Rehab Assignment
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit (neck) was sent to Triple-A Nashville for a rehab assignment. The 32-year-old has struggled in his first season in Milwaukee, batting .221 with 15 hits and 27 strikeouts in 68 at-bats. Hopefully, some time away from the big club will do Voit some good. But until he gets his act together from a production standpoint, he shouldn't be on any fantasy roster.

Mon May 15 202316:43Luke Voit Placed On Injured List
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit (neck) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. It's uncertain when Voit picked up the injury, but it appears he's dealing with a strained neck. That being said, the Brewers are uncertain of the severity, so they haven't given a timetable on his return. He was struggling at the plate, slashing just .221/.284/.265 with zero homers, four RBI. The Brewers have signed first baseman Darin Ruf to a one-year deal, so he'll likely see regular at-bats until Voit returns. Ruf hasn't done enough with the bat this season to warrant rostering in most formats.

Wed Apr 12 202314:05Luke Voit Returns To Starting Lineup Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit will return to the club's starting lineup Wednesday versus the D-backs and right-hander Drey Jameson. Voit sat out Tuesday night's 7-1 win over the D-backs and will appear in his sixth game of the season Wednesday. The 2020 home run king is struggling out of the gate this season, going just 2-for-16 without an extra-base hit in that time. However, he still managed to club 22 home runs between the Padres and Nationals last season but will struggle to see everyday playing time behind Rowdy Tellez at first base and Jesse Winker at designated hitter with the Brewers in 2023.

Mon Mar 27 202317:34Luke Voit Signs New Deal With Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers signed first baseman Luke Voit to a new one year-deal on Monday that includes a team option for the 2024 season. Voit will now return to Milwaukee after opting out of his minor-league deal with the club over the weekend. The 32-year-old power hitter will at least see regular action for the Brew Crew at first base when the team faces left-handed pitching. After leading all of baseball in home runs in the shortened 2020 season with the New York Yankees, Voit continued to disappoint last year with a .226/.308/.402 slash line with 22 home runs, 69 RBI and 55 runs scored in 135 games with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals. He struck out over 30% of the time in 2022, and it's hard to make a case for rostering him in mixed leagues.

Sat Mar 25 202322:17Luke Voit Opts Out Of Deal With Brewers
First baseman Luke Voit opted out of his minor-league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. He can still be part of the Brewers Opening Day roster but will explore his options before reassessing the situation. Voit, a 32-year-old slugger, spent his 2022 campaign with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals. He slugged a career-tying 22 home runs and slashed a middling .226/.308/.402 with a .710 OPS. Voit's ability to create contact has teetered off quite a bit since his magical .948 OPS season with the New York Yankees back in 2019. He struck out a whopping 179 times (31.4% rate) this past season and doesn't provide much value to a lineup aside from his over-the-fence power. Although, if Voit resorts back to Milwaukee, there's a chance that he could make the 26-man roster.

Tue Feb 21 202311:05Luke Voit Signs Minor-League Deal With Brewers
Free-agent first baseman Luke Voit signed a minor-league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Voit will join the Brew Crew after spending the 2022 season with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals, where he hit a combined .226/.308/.402 with a career-low .710 OPS, 22 home runs, 69 RBI and 55 runs scored in 568 plate appearances and a career-high 135 games played. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger should have a good shot to make Milwaukee's Opening Day roster as an option at designated hitter and first base. The 2020 home run champ has had two down seasons and isn't hitting homers at the clip he did in the shortened season with the New York Yankees. Voit will be worth looking at for some power in NL-only leagues with limited playing time.

Fri Aug 19 202221:19Luke Voit Scratched From Friday's Lineup
Washington Nationals first baseman Luke Voit was scratched from his team's game against the San Diego Padres with back tightness. Voit was replaced in the lineup by Joey Meneses, who is hitting third and playing first base. The 31-year-old Voit will not be in the starting lineup but he is reportedly available as a pinch-hitter on Friday, if needed. Voit is hitting .224 with 16 homers, 44 runs, and 53 RBI in 96 games in 2022.

Tue Aug 2 202215:48Luke Voit Heading To Washington In Juan Soto Deal
The San Diego Padres are sending first baseman Luke Voit to the Washington Nationals on Tuesday to finalize the deal involving superstar outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell, according to a source. First baseman Eric Hosmer was originally included in the deal for Soto and Bell, but he exercised his no-trade clause and was later dealt to the Boston Red Sox. Earlier in the day, Passan reported that the Nationals would also be getting left-hander MacKenzie Gore, top outfield prospect Robert Hassel III, shortstop C.J. Abrams, outfielder James Wood and right-hander Jarlin Susana, but it's unknown if those names are still included in the blockbuster swap. The 31-year-old Voit will become Washington's primary first baseman, and he'll lose fantasy value in the move to the last-place Nats. Voit is hitting .225 with 13 homers and 48 RBI in 298 at-bats in 2022.

Sat Jul 30 202213:15Luke Voit Homers, Drives In Three
San Diego Padres designated hitter Luke Voit participated in the offensive onslaught against Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins Friday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored. Voit now has 13 home runs on the season to go with 38 runs scored and 47 RBI. He's gone deep three times in his last nine games. It's not been a banner season for Voit, but he continues to hit the ball very hard and could go on a tear for fantasy managers at any time.

Wed Jun 15 202213:52Luke Voit Homers, Drives In Five Tuesday
San Diego Padres designated hitter Luke Voit had his best day of the season at the plate Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs, going 2-for-6 with a home run, a double, five RBI, and two runs scored in a 12-5 victory. Voit has now provided four long balls in June, bringing his season total to seven. While his slash line in 183 plate appearances this year is a pedestrian .226/.306/.396, Voit has plenty of pop and has carved out a middle-of-the-lineup spot for a potent offense, giving him plenty of opportunity to rack up counting stats.

Wed May 11 202221:15Luke Voit Smashes Two Homers In Wednesday's Loss
San Diego Padres' first baseman Luke Voit went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Chicago Cubs. He took Keegan Thompson deep in the second frame and then smashed another homer off Mychal Givens in the seventh inning for his second long ball of the game. San Diego reinstated Voit (biceps) from the injured list on Tuesday. The 31-year-old crushed his first two homers of the season and will turn things around after a rough start to the season. Voit is slashing .184/.349/.327 with two home runs, seven RBI, and nine runs over 15 games in 2022.

Tue May 10 202221:29Wil Myers, Luke Voit Activated And Starting Tuesday
The San Diego Padres reinstated outfielder Wil Myers (thumb) and first baseman/designated hitter Luke Voit (biceps) from the injured list on Tuesday. Myers is back in right field and is hitting fifth on Tuesday against Chicago Cubs left-hander Wade Miley, while Voit will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth. Myers has been out the last two weeks with a bruised right thumb. He was off to a slow start with a .218/.254/.273 slash line and a 32.2% strikeout rate to begin the year, and he's still searching for his first homer. Voit went on the IL on April 23 with a biceps injury. The 31-year-old power hitter was also ice-cold before his injury, and he went 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts during a five-game rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso. Fantasy managers should play Myers/Voit at their own risk now that they are back in the majors.

Mon May 9 202221:46Luke Voit Will Need More Rehab At-Bats
San Diego Padres first baseman Luke Voit (biceps) will stay at Triple-A El Paso for the time being in an attempt to get his bat going. Voit has struggled in Triple-A, striking out in nine straight at-bats at one point as he attempts to work his way back to the big league club after injuring his biceps back on April 23. The veteran spent some time with the big-league staff on Monday and they apparently decided that he needs some more time to fine-tune his swing. There was originally some talk that Voit would be activated from the injured list on Friday but that is looking less likely after Monday's news.
