2024 Fantasy Outlook
Woods Richardson took a step backward last season at Triple-A with a 4.91 ERA and 7.6 K/9 along with an increased walk rate to 4.85 BB/9. He struggled in his one outing in the majors, giving up 5 runs in 4.2 innings. Woods Richardson doesn't have great velocity (low-to-mid 90s fastball) but has three quality off-speed pitches and displayed good control earlier in his minor league career. He's nominally in the fifth-starter competition this spring, but likely needs to prove himself again at Triple-A. Read Past Outlooks
Stuck with tough loss Saturday
Woods Richardson (2-1) took the loss Saturday as the Twins were downed 4-0 by the Pirates, allowing one run on six hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander put together one of his best performances of the season, blanking the Bucs until serving up a solo shot to Rowdy Tellez in the seventh inning, but Woods Richardson got no run support at all. He recorded 17 swinging strikes among 97 pitches en route to his third quality starts among 10 trips to the mound in the majors this season. Woods Richardson will take a 2.84 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 42:11 K:BB through 50.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the A's.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to join rotation soon?
Woods Richardson could receive a look in Minnesota's rotation soon if Louie Varland's early-season struggles continue, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Varland has an 8.36 ERA through three starts this season, and his rotation spot could be in jeopardy if he doesn't turn things around soon. Woods Richardson was briefly called up for a spot start over the weekend and pitched well in his season debut, as he allowed one run on two hits and a walk over six innings at Detroit. If Woods Richardson is brought back up, it will be the first time he's made multiple big-league appearances in the same season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
Richardson had a 5.76 ERA with a troubling 5.2 BB/9 at Double-A New Hampshire before his trade to Minnesota from Toronto in 2021 as part of the Jose Berrios deal. He threw just eight innings at Double-A after the trade as he spent time on the U.S. Olympic team. With a full season in the Minnesota organization, he bounced back to show he's a potential back end major league rotation arm. Woods Richardson made a strong impression at Double-A with a 3.06 ERA and 9.81 K/9 in 16 games and then had a 2.21 ERA with a 9.3 K/9 in seven Triple-A starts. He got one late-season start in the majors as a result (3 ER in 5 IP). Woods Richardson doesn't have great velocity (low-to-mid 90s fastball) but has three quality off-speed pitches and good control (3.1 BB/9 across all three levels last season). He'll compete for a rotation spot this spring, but may spend much of the season at Triple-A before getting another shot.
