Twins recall right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson for injury-thinned rotation

The Minnesota Twins recalled right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson to start the opener of a three-game series against Texas following two injury setbacks for their starting pitching

JUNE 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Recalled ahead of Tuesday's start The Twins recalled Woods Richardson from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Impact Woods Richardson will start Tuesday against the Rangers and should remain in the Twins' rotation indefinitely as a replacement for Zebby Matthews (shoulder). The right-hander has an underwhelming 5.02 ERA and 35:14 K:BB over 37.2 innings this season at the major-league level.

Expected to start Tuesday Woods Richardson is expected to be named the starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact It was reported Sunday that the club was considering calling Woods Richardson up to join the rotation at some point during the week after Zebby Matthews (shoulder) and Pablo Lopez (shoulder) both landed on the injured list, and the Twins' pitching plans are now coming into focus. Woods Richardson is fresh off a shaky outing against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, surrendering five runs over five innings, but he'll need to turn the page quickly with a promotion on the horizon.

Likely to rejoin MLB rotation Woods Richardson was scratched from his scheduled start for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday and is expected to join the Twins' rotation this week, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports...

Impact Pablo Lopez (shoulder) landed on the injured list Thursday and Zebby Matthews (shoulder) did so Sunday, so Minnesota is in need of some rotation help. Woods Richardson is a logical candidate to fill the void, as he opened the campaign in the starting rotation and posted a 5.02 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB across 37.2 innings (eight outings) before being demoted in mid-May.

Sent to Triple-A The Twins optioned Woods Richardson to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Impact Rather than sending the 27th man from Wednesday's doubleheader (reliever Kody Funderburk) back to Triple-A, the Twins will instead demote Woods Richardson, who struggled mightily in his start in the second game of the twin bill. Woods Richardson coughed up a season-high six earned runs over four innings in an 8-6 win over Baltimore, leaving him with a 5.02 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 37.2 innings on the season. The 24-year-old righty will presumably get another look in the Minnesota rotation later on in the season, but the Twins will likely turn to David Festa or Zebby Matthews to replace Woods Richardson the next time a fifth starter is needed this weekend in MIlwaukee.

Impact The right-hander got tagged for all six of his runs in the third inning, serving up homers to Cedric Mullins and Heston Kjerstad. The two long balls, six runs and eight hits were all season highs for Woods Richardson, and he continues to tax the Twins' bullpen -- he's failed to last five inning in four of his last five trips to the mound. He'll carry a 5.02 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB through 37.2 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Guardians.

Twins and Orioles to play Wednesday doubleheader after weather postpones Tuesday's game

The opener of a three-game series between the Minnesota Twins and Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday was postponed because of rain

MAY 13, 2025 • Associated Press

Twins-Orioles rained out Woods Richardson will have his next start pushed back after Tuesday's game in Baltimore was postponed due to rain.

Throws just 61 pitches in start Woods Richardson tossed 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one batter.

Impact Woods Richardson had control issues in the outing, throwing just 33 of 61 pitches for strikes. Still, he walked only one batter and allowed just one run through four frames. The right-hander retired the first two batters he faced in the fifth, but after Baltimore then strung together three straight hits for a run, Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli elected to pull Woods Richardson rather than give him another chance to get the final out he needed to qualify for a win. It was the second straight start in which Woods Richardson has gone exactly 4.2 frames, and he's completed fewer than five innings in three of his past four appearances, which doesn't shine a positive light on his current fantasy appeal.

Impact The five walks marked a season-high for Woods Richardson, though he managed to hold Cleveland to a lone first-inning run before Jhonkensy Noel tacked on a solo homer in the fourth. Overall, Woods Richardson is 2-2 on the season with a 4.03 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB across 29 innings. The 24-year-old right-hander is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Orioles in his next start.
