The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have recalled right-handed pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson from Triple-A St. Paul.
Woods Richardson went 2-0 with a 4.24 ERA (17.0 IP, 8 ER), four walks, 19 strikeouts and a 1.12 WHIP in three starts for the Saints since being optioned from Minnesota on May 15. Earlier this season, he appeared in eight games (7 starts) for the Twins between April 1 and May 14, going 2-2 with a 5.02 ERA (37.2 IP, 21 ER), 14 walks, 35 strikeouts and a 1.54 WHIP in those outings.
To make room for Woods Richardson on the 26-man roster, the Twins optioned right-handed pitcher Travis Adams to St. Paul after Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Adams was recalled on Friday and did not appear in a game.
Woods Richardson is scheduled to start tonight’s game against the Texas Rangers at Target Field.
