Simeon Woods Richardson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Likely to pitch in bulk relief Saturday Manager John Schneider said that Woods Richardson will be part of the Blue Jays' pitching plan for Saturday's game against the Yankees "in some capacity," Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.c...

Impact Right-hander Braydon Fisher will start for Toronto, but he's unlikely to work more than an inning or two before giving way to the bullpen. Woods Richardson will be available on four days' rest and will likely be tasked with covering multiple innings in relief behind Fisher. After being called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Woods Richardson came on in long relief in the Blue Jays' victory over the Red Sox later that night, earning the win after giving up one earned run across three innings.

Collects win Monday Woods Richardson (2-7) picked up the win over the Red Sox on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over three relief innings. He struck out two.

Impact The lone run off the right-hander came on a bizarre play in the seventh inning when the scoreboard showed the wrong number of outs and both teams lost track, and a Boston runner trotted home without tagging up at third base on a flyout before Toronto got the ball to first base to record a somewhat haphazard double play. Starter Jameson Taillon (forearm) left the game early, and if he ends up landing on the IL, Woods Richardson could be the next man up in the rotation. Over four long-relief appearances for the Jays this season, he's managed a 0.69 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 13 innings despite a poor 7:8 K:BB.

Impact Woods Richardson was acquired via trade earlier this month after the Twins had designated him for assignment, and he lasted only three-plus weeks before being DFA'd again.

Finally gets into win column Woods Richardson (1-7) notched the win Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing no runs on three hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out one.

Impact Woods Richardson landed only 28 of his 55 offerings for strikes, but he still managed to keep Boston off the board en route to getting into the win column for the first time this year. After being jettisoned by the Twins earlier this season, the 25-year-old right-hander is up to seven scoreless frames covering two outings in bulk relief with the Blue Jays. Even so, Woods Richardson has a 6.75 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 30:28 K:BB over 54.2 innings on the campaign and could be relegated to mop-up duties more frequently once Shane Bieber (elbow) is ready to make his season debut.

DFA'd by Twins The Twins designated Woods Richardson for assignment Saturday.

Impact Woods Richardson has struggled to the tune of a 7.74 ERA and 1.89 WHIP through 47.2 innings this season, and following his five-run, 2.2-inning spot start Friday, the Twins have officially decided to remove him from their big-league roster. John Klein was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Struggles in spot start Woods Richardson (0-7) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters over 2.2 innings in a loss to the White Sox on Thursday.

Impact Woods Richardson was called upon to start after Kendry Rojas was a late scratch due to an elbow issue. The starting role wasn't new to Woods Richardson -- he started for the 10th time through 12 outings this season -- but the last-minute adjustment may have played a part in his poor outing. The right-hander struggled with his control, throwing just 40 of 67 pitches for strikes while issuing three free passes. Those walks hurt him, as all three resulted in a Chicago score. The final blow for Woods Richardson was a bases-clearing double by Randal Grichuk, which ended the hurler's outing after just 2.2 frames. Rojas had been scheduled to work as Minnesota's sixth starter Thursday, and that may not have been a long-term rotation structure, so Woods Richardson may return to the bullpen after Thursday's rough outing.
