Dropped from 40-man roster The Royals designated Richards for assignment Wednesday.
Impact Kansas City will swap Richards out of its bullpen for a fresh right-handed arm in Jonathan Bowlan, who was recalled from Triple-A Omaha. After receiving a promotion to the big club Saturday, Richards appeared in three contests and gave up four earned runs on seven hits and two walks over three innings. If he goes unclaimed off waivers, Richards will have the option of electing free agency if he doesn't wish to report back to Omaha.

Promoted to majors The Royals selected Richards' contract from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
Impact Richards signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on May 9 after being released by the Cubs three days prior. The 32-year-old right-hander struggled with Triple-A Iowa, but he's been better out of the bullpen for Omaha, where he has a 1.69 ERA, 1.86 WHIP, two save and an 11:5 K:BB across 10.2 innings. Richards will take the spot on the Royals' 26-man roster vacated by Jonathan Bowlan, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Grabs minors deal from Royals The Royals signed Richards to a minor-league contract Thursday.
Impact Richards had been cut loose by the Cubs earlier this week after posting a 7.27 ERA and 12:7 K:BB over 8.2 innings at Triple-A Iowa. The righty will report to Triple-A Omaha, where he will give the Royals some relief depth.
MAY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Let go by Cubs Richards was released by Chicago on Monday, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.
Impact Richards didn't find much success in the early stages of the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Iowa, giving up seven runs on seven hits and seven walks across 8.2 innings in seven appearances (one start). He'll set his focus on finding a new opportunity following Monday's release.

Officially invited to camp Richards was among 20 non-roster players invited to spring training by the Cubs on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Richards joined the Cubs last month on a minor-league deal and he will now officially participate in spring training, where he'll compete for a bullpen job. The righty compiled a 4.55 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 65.1 innings for Toronto and Minnesota last season. If Richards does make the team, he'll likely have a low-leverage role and figures to be mostly off the fantasy radar.

Gets MiLB deal from CHC The Cubs signed Richards to a minor-league contract Monday, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.
Impact Richards had a 4.55 ERA in 2024 between the Blue Jays and Twins and saw his strikeout rate dip from 33.3 percent to 22.4 percent year-over-year. That said, as a versatile arm with some swing-and-miss ability, he's a solid get on a minor-league contract. Presumably, he'll receive an invitation to spring training, where he'll compete for a bullpen gig.

Picks up first save Richards earned the save in a 6-3 win over the Guardians in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. He struck out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact After Jhoan Duran earned the save in the first game of the doubleheader, Richards got the call in the nightcap, where he set down Cleveland in order to earn his first save of the year. It's a nice bounce-back effort from Richards, who allowed three runs while issuing five walks in just two-thirds of an inning in his last appearance. Overall, the 31-year-old Richards sports a 4.82 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP and 53:29 K:BB across 56 innings between the Twins and Blue Jays this year.
