2025 Fantasy Outlook
Richardson had his first success in the majors last year with a revamped delivery and increased velocity but ran out of gas late in the season. The former top prospect took a big step back at Triple-A in 2023 (4.91 ERA and just a 7.6 K/9) so he worked on adjusting his arm angle from a 12 o'clock release to down a few slots. The change increased his velocity significantly (93.1 mph average fastball from 90.6 mph in 2023). While his velocity is still below average, it was finally sufficient enough at the big leagues to help his off-speed arsenal and his slider became a viable out pitch. He joined the rotation in April when a spot opened and had a 3.27 ERA through his first 17 starts with a 2.5 BB/9. He then struggled with a 5.91 ERA and 4.6 BB/9 in his last 11 starts. He'll compete for a final rotation spot this spring, but will need to limit his walks as he has little margin despite his improved fastball. Read Past Outlooks

Hit hard in return
Woods Richardson did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
Analysis
After missing some time due to a parasite in his digestive tract, it was a tough outing for Woods Richardson in his first appearance since July 28. The right-hander gave up a season-high three home runs, including two off the bat of Davis Schneider. Overall, Woods Richardson sports a 4.59 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 71:37 K:BB across 84.1 innings this season. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the White Sox.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
2020
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.

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.
