Richards will start Monday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richards has had back-to-back short starts, with his most recent outing coming Thursday against the Mariners. During that appearance, he gave up six runs on four hits and two walks while striking out zero over two-thirds of an inning as he was charged with the loss. The brevity of Richards' recent appearances will allow him to start Monday at Coors Field on short rest as he attempts to turn things around.
