Brewers acquire Tellez from Blue Jays for Richards, Francis

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired first baseman Rowdy Tellez from the Toronto Blue Jays for right-handed pitchers Trevor Richards and Bowden Francis

JULY 6, 2021 • Associated Press

Dealt to Blue Jays Richards and minor-leaguer Bowden Francis were traded to the Blue Jays from the Brewers on Tuesday in exchange for Rowdy Tellez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Richards was traded to Milwaukee alongside Willy Adames on May 21, posting a 3.20 ERA and 25:9 K:BB in 19.2 innings with the Brewers. The righty primarily served as a bulk reliever, winning three games but also blowing two saves in his 15 appearances. Now, Richards joins a struggling bullpen that may find use for him in later, higher-leverage situations than the Brewers did.

Sent to Brewers with Adames Richards and Willy Adames were acquired by the Brewers from the Rays on Friday in exchange for J.P. Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The right-hander has a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through 12 innings this season and should join his new team sometime this weekend. Feyereisen and Rasmussen both saw significant work for the Brewers, so Richards should step into a sizable hole in the bullpen.

Back with big club The Rays recalled Richards from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The right-hander will move up to the big club for the second time this season after posting a 4.91 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over five appearances in his first stint with the Rays. After previously working as a swingman for the Rays in 2020, Richards appears to have transitioned into a full-time relief role. He worked no more than 1.1 innings in any of his five appearances with Durham prior to Wednesday's call-up.

Optioned to Triple-A Richards was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Richards has made five major-league appearances to begin the season and posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 11 innings. However, he'll now be removed from the big-league roster as part of a shuffle to make room for Rich Hill (illness) and Cody Reed (thumb), who were activated from the injured list Saturday.

Gets first hold Richards was credited with his first hold in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed no hits and one walk.

Impact Richards was highly efficient in his setup role behind Diego Castillo, needing only 13 pitches to get his three outs. The 27-year-old has improved after a pair of uneven appearances to start the season, rebounding from allowing a pair of earned runs apiece in each of his first two trips to the mound to giving up just one earned run over the four innings covering his last pair of outings.

Notches three-inning save Richards was credited with a save against the Royals on Tuesday, pitching three innings and allowing one run on one hit while striking out four.

Impact Richards entered the high-scoring contest in the seventh inning with Tampa Bay staked to a five-run lead. He gave up a run in that frame but retired the final seven batters he faced to log his first career save. Richards has allowed five earned runs over eight innings so far this season, but he given up only six hits while posting a 10:1 K:BB.

Impact Ryan Yarbrough threw 93 pitches over six difficult frames, and Richards was therefore called upon in his role as swingman to eat up some innings. The right-hander struggled to a career-worst 5.91 ERA and 1.72 WHIP across nine appearances (four starts) in 2020, so Tuesday's uneven outing wasn't exactly the most encouraging start to his new season.

Called up by Rays Richards was recalled by the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Richards was sent to Triple-A Durham prior to Opening Day after he allowed eight runs in 7.1 innings this spring. Richards has experience as a starter and long reliever in the majors, and he could fill in as a member of the rotation after Chris Archer (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
