Richardson was brought up from Triple-A Louisville to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
After the Speedway Classic was suspended Saturday in the first inning following multiple rain delays, Atlanta and Cincinnati will resume the game Sunday. Because starter Chase Burns won't pitch after tossing a perfect inning a day earlier, the Reds will lean on a slew of relievers to get them through the contest. Richardson will be a candidate to head back to Louisville immediately after the contest.

The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville following Friday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for Zack Littell, who was acquired by the Reds from the Rays on Wednesday. Richardson has spent most of the year in the majors and has a 4.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 27:19 K:BB across 34.2 innings this season. He should have an opportunity to rejoin the big club should the Reds need right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was sent to Louisville on May 22 but he'll come back up to take the spot of Luis Mey, who was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday. Richardson has made 10 appearances in the majors this season and has a 1.32 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 7:5 K:BB across 13.2 innings.

The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cincinnati will announce a corresponding roster move Friday, when Hunter Greene (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start the Reds' series opener versus the Cubs. Richardson has allowed just three runs (two earned) over 13.2 innings out of the Reds bullpen this season, although he struck out only seven batters.

The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was optioned to Louisville on Thursday but will be able to quickly rejoin the Reds since Tyler Callihan (forearm) was placed on the injured list. Richardson has appeared in two games for Cincinnati this year and has allowed one earned run with a 2:1 K:BB over four innings.

The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson was needed for three innings in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. Yosver Zulueta was called up from Triple-A to take over Richardson's spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.

The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With Ian Gibaut (shoulder) bound for the injured list, Richardson will come up from Triple-A to help bolster Cincinnati's bullpen depth. The 25-year-old righty owns a 4.15 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 13 innings at Louisville this season, but he'll likely be limited to low-leverage situations, given his career 9.35 ERA in the majors.

The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson has had a nice spring with a 2.00 ERA and nine strikeouts over nine innings, but he will nonetheless begin the season at Louisville. The 25-year-old will be part of Louisville's rotation.

Richardson (undisclosed) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one over one inning during Saturday's Cactus League game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson has returned to health after an unspecified injury sidelined him near the end of the 2024 season. This wasn't a great start to camp for someone who is competing for a big-league roster spot, though he should get a few more opportunities to show what he can do.

Richardson was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear what injury the right-hander is dealing with or how long he might be sidelined. Richardson has spent most of the season in Louisville's rotation but had been used in long relief there for his last three appearances, allowing five runs over eight frames.
