Simeon Woods Richardson Sent Down

The Minnesota Twins optioned right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson to Triple-A St. Paul and recalled catcher Jair Camargo from St. Paul on Thursday. With Woods Richardson not set to pitch again during the regular season in 2024, the Twins elected to send him down to give them extra catching depth to close out the weekend series versus the Baltimore Orioles. The 24-year-old went out on a sour note in his first year in the big leagues by allowing three earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out two in just one inning in his final start on Wednesday against the Marlins. In his third year with the Twins in 2024, Woods Richardson ended up going 5-5 with a 4.17 ERA (4.12 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP and a 117:48 K:BB in 133 2/3 innings over 28 starts in his first full season in the big leagues. He came into 2024 with only 9 2/3 innings pitched in the big leagues.

Simeon Woods Richardson Turns In Quality Start, No-Decision Tuesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson continued his strong rookie season in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Phillies. Woods Richardson pitched six scoreless innings, allowing three hits and a walk with five strikeouts. Unfortunately, his offense was held in check by a strong start from Zach Wheeler, leaving him without a chance at a win. The 23-year-old is now 3-1 with a 3.27 ERA, a 7.77 K/9 rate, and a 2.56 BB/9 rate in 17 starts and 88 IP. His next start will be a middling one at the Mets, but he should draw two starts in that week, making him a worthy fantasy start.

Simeon Woods Richardson Earns Quality Start

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson earned his fourth quality start of the season versus the Tampa Bay Rays in a no-decision on Thursday. Woods Richardson tossed six innings and allowed four hits, two runs, two walks and struck out six on the afternoon. The former Top-100 prospect didn't have much hype entering the 2024 season, but he has become a member of the Twins rotation and performed well in the role. He has had some bumps in the road along the way, but overall is 2-1 with a respectable 3.26 ERA in 12 starts. The right-hander doesn't offer enough strikeouts to be a must-roster, but he can still be valuable in deeper mixed and strong streaming option in the right matchups. Woods Richardson is lined up to face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday followed by the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox, giving him three favorable matchups before the All-Star break.

Simeon Woods Richardson Pitches Well Again In Tough No-Decision

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson turned in a quality start but came away with a no-decision in Monday's 3-1 win over the Mariners. The 23-year-old pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk with eight strikeouts. Woods Richardson has capitalized on favorable matchups since being called up and is now 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA, a 9.15 K/9 rate, and a 2.18 BB/9 rate in four starts and 20 2/3 IP. His streak has a chance to continue in his next projected start at the struggling Blue Jays.

Simeon Woods Richardson Called Up To Start On Thursday

The Minnesota Twins recalled right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday and optioned right-hander Ronny Henriquez to St. Paul in a corresponding move. Woods Richards, the team's No. 24 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will make his second start of the year and just the third of his career on Thursday in a good matchup against the visiting Chicago White Sox. The Twins sent the struggling Louie Varland to the minors, so the 23-year-old Woods Richardson could stick around for a while in Minnesota's rotation if he has another strong outing on Thursday. He gave up just one run in six innings against the Detroit Tigers on April 13 in a spot start but was sporting a 6.08 ERA in three starts at St. Paul over 13 1/3 innings.

Simeon Woods Richardson Expected To Start On Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson is joining the taxi squad with the expectation of starting during Saturday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. The right-hander failed to make the team during spring training, but he'll have a chance to impress here. So far in 2024, Woods Richardson has struggled during two starts in Triple-A. He made one appearance for the Twins last season but spent the majority of his time in the minors. He won't be a recommended streaming option for Saturday.

Simeon Woods Richardson Set To Start On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher prospect Simeon Woods Richardson will make his season debut for Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday. Woods Richardson was once a highly touted prospect and brought along with Austin Martin for Jose Berrios a few seasons ago. The 23-year=old has dealt with injuries and unimpressive results thus far and is no longer a consensus Top-100 prospect, but that doesn't mean that he can't correct his trajectory with a strong season. The Twins have some good depth with starting pitchers, so it's likely it would take a few injuries or dominance on the mound for Woods Richardson to get the promotion. A former big name in dynasty leagues, Woods Richardson is worth keeping an eye on, but can safely be on the waiver wire.

Simeon Woods Richardson Showcases New Arm Angle Monday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson turned in a strong spring debut Monday, pitching a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout of Juan Soto in a 9-2 Grapefruit League win over the Yankees. The 23-year-old said that he has been working on altering his arm angle this off-season, bringing his delivery down from directly over the top. Woods Richardson spent most of his time last season at Triple-A St. Paul, going 7-6 with a 4.91 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 19.3% strikeout rate in 113 2/3 innings pitched. While he has time in his career left to figure out how to deliver effective results, fantasy managers can keep him on the back burner for now.

Simeon Woods Richardson Optioned To Triple-A

The Minnesota Twins have optioned starting pitcher prospect Simeon Woods Richardson to Triple-A. Woods-Richardson, 22, was the big get from the Toronto Blue Jays for starting pitcher Jose Berrios a few seasons ago and made his big-league debut in one start for the Twins last season. Originally praised for his high velocity, Woods-Richardson has lost some ticks on the radar gun, but that has improved his command. Overall, Woods-Richardson is a name to monitor in both dynasty and redraft leagues for his potential, but can be ignored for now with him losing out on an Opening Day roster spot.

Simeon Woods Richardson Likely To Pitch For Twins This Season

Minnesota Twins top prospect Simeon Woods Richardson is expected to pitch for the club at some point in the final week of the season, according to manager Rocco Baldelli. The Twins have starters set for every day left in the season except for Sunday, so that will likely be the day Richardson makes his major league debut. The Twins number six prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, has excelled in Double-A and Triple-A this season, posting a 2.77 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 115:36 K:BB ratio over 107 IP. If he starts Sunday he would face the Detroit Tigers, a matchup that gives him some streamer appeal.
