Blue Jays' Simeon Woods Richardson: Likely to pitch in bulk relief Saturday
Manager John Schneider said that Woods Richardson will be part of the Blue Jays' pitching plan for Saturday's game against the Yankees "in some capacity," Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Right-hander Braydon Fisher will start for Toronto, but he's unlikely to work more than an inning or two before giving way to the bullpen. Woods Richardson will be available on four days' rest and will likely be tasked with covering multiple innings in relief behind Fisher. After being called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Woods Richardson came on in long relief in the Blue Jays' victory over the Red Sox later that night, earning the win after giving up one earned run across three innings.

Blue Jays' Simeon Woods Richardson: Collects win Monday
Woods Richardson (2-7) picked up the win over the Red Sox on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over three relief innings. He struck out two.
The lone run off the right-hander came on a bizarre play in the seventh inning when the scoreboard showed the wrong number of outs and both teams lost track, and a Boston runner trotted home without tagging up at third base on a flyout before Toronto got the ball to first base to record a somewhat haphazard double play. Starter Jameson Taillon (forearm) left the game early, and if he ends up landing on the IL, Woods Richardson could be the next man up in the rotation. Over four long-relief appearances for the Jays this season, he's managed a 0.69 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 13 innings despite a poor 7:8 K:BB.

Blue Jays' Simeon Woods Richardson: Returns to big-league roster
The Blue Jays selected Woods Richardson's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Woods Richardson was removed from the 40-man roster in late June, but he's earned another opportunity by logging a 1.65 ERA and 14:6 K:BB over 16.1 innings across his last four appearances with Buffalo. The righty will likely be used in a long relief role.

Blue Jays' Simeon Woods Richardson: Remaining in organization
The Blue Jays outrighted Woods Richardson to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Woods Richardson was acquired via trade earlier this month after the Twins had designated him for assignment, and he lasted only three-plus weeks before being DFA'd again. The 25-year-old holds a 6.40 ERA and 31:32 K:BB over 57.2 innings between the Twins and Blue Jays this season and will likely join the rotation at Buffalo.

Blue Jays' Simeon Woods Richardson: Finally gets into win column
Woods Richardson (1-7) notched the win Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing no runs on three hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out one.
Woods Richardson landed only 28 of his 55 offerings for strikes, but he still managed to keep Boston off the board en route to getting into the win column for the first time this year. After being jettisoned by the Twins earlier this season, the 25-year-old right-hander is up to seven scoreless frames covering two outings in bulk relief with the Blue Jays. Even so, Woods Richardson has a 6.75 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 30:28 K:BB over 54.2 innings on the campaign and could be relegated to mop-up duties more frequently once Shane Bieber (elbow) is ready to make his season debut.

Blue Jays' Simeon Woods Richardson: Shipped to Toronto
The Blue Jays acquired Woods Richardson from the Twins on Wednesday in exchange for cash, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Minnesota designated Woods Richardson for assignment last weekend after he put up a 7.74 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over 47.2 innings. He'll reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon rejoining the Blue Jays organization, with whom he spent parts of three seasons in the minors. Woods Richardson could fill an immediate need for the big club in the rotation or as a long-relief arm, as the Blue Jays currently have 10 pitchers on the injured list.

John Klein was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Struggles in spot start
Woods Richardson (0-7) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters over 2.2 innings in a loss to the White Sox on Thursday.
Woods Richardson was called upon to start after Kendry Rojas was a late scratch due to an elbow issue. The starting role wasn't new to Woods Richardson -- he started for the 10th time through 12 outings this season -- but the last-minute adjustment may have played a part in his poor outing. The right-hander struggled with his control, throwing just 40 of 67 pitches for strikes while issuing three free passes, with all three coming around to score. The final blow for Woods Richardson was a bases-clearing double by Randal Grichuk, which ended the hurler's outing after just 2.2 frames. Rojas had been scheduled to work as Minnesota's sixth starter Thursday, and that may not have been a long-term rotation structure, so Woods Richardson could return to the bullpen after Thursday's rough outing.

Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Filling in as starter Thursday
Woods Richardson will start Thursday's game versus the White Sox in place of the injured Kendry Rojas (elbow), Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Rojas had to be scratched because of a sore pitching elbow. Woods Richardson's last two appearances both came in relief, and he will be starting on just two days' rest after throwing 35 pitches over two frames Monday against Chicago. The right-hander's last start came more than two weeks ago, and he will be facing a restricted workload versus the White Sox.

Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Makes first relief appearance
Woods Richardson struck out a batter and allowed one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Monday's 6-3 win over the Astros.
After Woods Richardson submitted an ugly 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP through nine starts to begin the season, the Twins moved him to the bullpen for the start of their six-game week. In Woods Richardson's place, the Twins tabbed rookie Kendry Rojas as their starter for Monday's game. Though Rojas wasn't built up enough to handle a typical starter's workload and was lifted after tossing four scoreless frames, the Twins opted to use six bullpen arms to cover the final five innings rather than calling upon Woods Richardson to serve as a bulk reliever. Woods Richardson thus appears set to operate in a more flexible bullpen role moving forward, with most of his appearances likely to come in lower-leverage spots.

Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Could work out of bullpen Monday
Woods Richardson is expected to be available in relief for Monday's game against the Astros while Kendry Rojas makes his first MLB start, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
While Twins manager Derek Shelton hasn't provided word on what exactly Woods Richardson's role will look like moving forward, the right-hander may have lost his spot in the rotation after going 0-6 with a 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP in 42 innings through his first nine starts of the season. Monday would have been Woods Richardson's turn in the rotation, but the Twins will instead give Rojas a look in a starting role. Since Rojas will be pitching on three days' rest and hasn't covered more than 3.1 innings between his nine appearances in the big leagues and minors this season, he'll likely be in line for a limited workload in his start. As such, Woods Richardson could be needed to eat some innings out of the bullpen.

Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Continues to struggle mightily
Woods Richardson (0-6) took the loss Wednesday against the Marlins, allowing eight runs (six earned) on seven hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out one.
After giving up just three runs over his first two starts of the season, Woods Richardson's results since then have been disastrous. The right-hander has a 9.79 ERA across his last seven outings (30.1 innings), during which he's yielded at least five runs on five occasions while failing to fan more than three in any appearance. Still without a win in 2026, Woods Richardson won't be a recommended fantasy option when he brings a 7.71 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 20:20 K:BB through 42 frames overall into his next scheduled matchup versus Houston.

Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Can't find rhythm Thursday
Woods Richardson didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Nationals, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
Washington catcher Keibert Ruiz in particular had Woods Richardson's number, plating three runs on a pair of doubles versus the hurler. It's been a struggle in 2026 so far for Woods Richardson, who has surrendered at least four runs in five of his last six starts while fanning three or fewer each time out during that period. Still winless on the campaign, the right-hander will bring a ghastly 6.92 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 19:16 K:BB over 39 innings into his next scheduled outing versus Miami.
