Rest-of-Season Projections
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

Optioned to Triple-A
Minnesota optioned Woods RIchardson to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Woods Richardson was unscored upon in three appearances this spring, but he never seemed like a serious candidate for the Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old will be used in St. Paul's rotation at the start of the 2024 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might get a shot next season?
With Kenta Maeda undergoing Tommy John surgery and Jose Berrios traded at the deadline, Woods Richardson could work his way into the rotation next season.
ANALYSIS
Woods Richardson was part of the Twins' return in the Berrios trade, so it would make sense if he ended up with that rotation spot at some point. Veteran Michael Pineda may also depart in free agency this offseason, which would open up another starting job for Minnesota. Woods Richardson played for Team USA at the Olympics and may still need time to get acclimated to his new organization, but he certainly could receive a long look at some point in 2022.

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.
