Lyon Richardson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Outrighted to Triple-A The Reds outrighted Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Richardson is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The right-hander finished 2025 with a 4.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 30:21 K:BB across 37.2 regular-season innings for Cincinnati.

Pushed off 40-man The Reds designated Richardson for assignment Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Following the Reds' acquisition of Dane Myers (knee) from Miami on Saturday, Richardson will end up as the roster casualty necessary to create space on the 40-man. The 25-year-old reliever finished 2025 with a 4.54 ERA and 1.54 WHIP alongside a 30:21 K:BB across 37.2 regular-season innings. However, his 4.06 FIP indicates that he performed slightly better than what his base stats suggest, and there's a chance another team in need of bullpen depth claims the right-hander off waivers.

Back with big club The Reds appointed Richardson from Triple-A Louisville to serve as its additional player for Sunday's MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tenn.

Impact After the Speedway Classic was suspended Saturday in the first inning following multiple rain delays, Atlanta and Cincinnati will resume the game Sunday. Because starter Chase Burns isn't expected to pitch Sunday after tossing a perfect inning a day earlier, the Reds will lean on Richardson and slew of relievers to get them through the contest. Richardson will be a candidate to head back to Louisville immediately after the Speedway Classic.

He should have an opportunity to rejoin the big club should the Reds need right-handed depth out of the bullpen.
