2024 Fantasy Outlook
Richardson returned from Tommy John elbow surgery in 2023 and spent time at four levels of ball, including a stint with the pitching-starved Reds. No Cincinnati starter threw more than 145.2 innings, and the right-hander was one of several prospects to fill rotation holes at various times. The plan coming off TJ surgery was limited innings and pitch counts, but Richardson's stuff - mid-90s fastball, slider, curve and changeup - was so impressive in 19 starts at Low-A Daytona (three), Double-A Chattanooga (15) and Triple-A Louisville (one) - 1.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 81 strikeouts over 58 innings - the Reds felt he could handle a spot start in the majors. What followed was historic in a bad way, as the righty gave up home runs on his first two pitches. Richardson made a few more limited appearances for Cincinnati, but what he needs now is to build innings. Those will likely come at Louisville in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Up on taxi squad
PCincinnati Reds  AAA
August 20, 2023
Richardson is on the Reds' taxi squad for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Analysis
The right-hander allowed four earned runs over three frames during his big-league debut Aug. 6, but he was immediately sent back to the minors. Cincinnati returned Hunter Greene from the 60-day injured list Sunday and are on the cusp of getting back Nick Lodolo from a lower leg injury, so there's not an obvious opening in the rotation in the immediate future for Richardson.
