Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Richards is the reliever equivalent of the innings eating starter. Last season, he appeared 56 times and amassed 72.2 innings, and it would have been more, but Richards needed the minimum 15-day IL visit for a neck issue in August. To be fair, Richards collected 11 holds, so some of his efforts were in higher leverage scenarios. Richards continues to throw one of the nastiest changeups in the league, but hitters can sit on his less effective four-seam fastball since he throws each about half the time. Richards was mixing in a slider in previous seasons, but he stopped using it. Richards has fanned over 30 percent of the hitters he's faced over the past three seasons, but he's walked 10 percent of them while recording a 1.52 HR/9. It's always intriguing to take a chance on Richards after sorting by strikeouts but following that with a sort on homers should help resist the temptation. Read Past Outlooks
Outrighted to Triple-A
The Twins outrighted Richards to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Richards had been designated for assignment following a 4.15 ERA with 11 walks and seven wild pitches in 13 innings after being acquired at the trade deadline. He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as relief depth at St. Paul.

Richards was well-traveled in 2021, spending time with the Rays, Brewers and Blue Jays. He was unable to crack Tampa Bay's Opening Day roster after a rough spring, but made his season debut for the Rays in mid-April in a multi-inning relief role. He was sent back down two weeks later, then subsequently traded to Milwaukee who deployed him similarly out of their bullpen. Desperate for relief help, Toronto acquired Richards via trade in early July. The 28-year-old found success with the Blue Jays, posting a 3.31 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB over 32.2 innings with the club. Overall, he tallied seven wins, six holds and one save with serviceable ratios. The big blemishes on Richards' 2021 profile were his 46.4% hard hit rate (bottom 4% of the league) and 1.7 HR/9, which ranked eighth-worst among qualified relievers. He projects to serve a similar multi-inning swingman role in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting some trade attention
Richards is the subject of trade interest, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The righty was recently bumped from the rotation and could be either considered as a closing option or swapped to another club. Richards' changeup carries his game, but he's run into difficulty trying to become a pitcher around that singular offering. Perhaps another organization could unlock a higher ceiling for the 26-year-old.
