The Reds outrighted Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The right-hander finished 2025 with a 4.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 30:21 K:BB across 37.2 regular-season innings for Cincinnati.

The Reds designated Richardson for assignment Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following the Reds' acquisition of Dane Myers (knee) from Miami on Saturday, Richardson will end up as the roster casualty necessary to create space on the 40-man. The 25-year-old reliever finished 2025 with a 4.54 ERA and 1.54 WHIP alongside a 30:21 K:BB across 37.2 regular-season innings. However, his 4.06 FIP indicates that he performed slightly better than what his base stats suggest, and there's a chance another team in need of bullpen depth claims the right-hander off waivers.

The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Richardson will be sent down to the minors alongside Yosver Zulueta in order to make room on the active roster for Graham Ashcraft (forearm) and Chase Burns (elbow), both of whom returned from the injured list Thursday. Richardson, 25, surrendered three earned runs in one inning during his lone appearance since being promoted Sept. 3 and now carries a 4.54 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 37.2 MLB frames.

The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cincinnati and Atlanta were granted a 27th player on the active roster Sunday during the completion of the suspended Speedway Classic game, and Richardson filled that role for the Reds. The righty struck out three over two scoreless innings Sunday and will now rejoin Louisville's bullpen.

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.
