The Nationals promoted Voth to the major leagues for the first time on April 29, adding him to their bullpen mix to add depth a day after manager Dave Martinez was forced to deploy eight pitchers in an extra-inning game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, including his entire bullpen.
However, Voth did not pitch in the Nationals’ game against Arizona on April 29, and on April 30, the Nationals called up reliever Wander Suero from Syracuse to bolster the bullpen and optioned Voth back to Syracuse without making a major-league appearance, Martinez explaining that the Nationals wanted Voth to continue to gain experience as a starter by pitching once every five days in Class AAA games with the Chiefs.
On July 14, 2018, Voth made his major league debut against the New York Mets at Citi Field.
He gave up three runs in the second inning following a string of singles against him, then appeared to rebound before running out of gas in the fifth inning, when he gave up four more runs before being removed from the game.
He was charged with the defeat when the Nationals were unable to overcome a seven-run deficit. The next day, he was optioned back to Syracuse.
