Twins Recall Right-Hander Simeon Woods Richardson for Injury-Thinned Rotation
- On Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins called up right-handed pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson from Triple-A to make the start in the series opener at home against the Texas Rangers.
- This recall comes as starters Zebby Matthews and Pablo Lopez were both sidelined last week due to shoulder strains and subsequently moved to the team's 15-day injury list.
- Woods Richardson appeared in eight games, starting seven, for Minnesota earlier this season and compiled a 5.02 ERA before being sent back to Triple-A on May 15.
- He will face Texas’ Tyler Mahle, who holds a 5-3 record with a 2.02 ERA and is starting his 14th game, while Marcus Semien hits.517 over the past nine games to boost the Rangers’ offense.
- The Twins will rely on Woods Richardson and other rotation depth to cover injuries, while aiming to build on recent wins and maintain their position second in the AL Central.
