Simeon Woods Richardson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

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.

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.
