A former Toronto Blue Jay will need to find a new home.
The Minnesota Twins designated right-handed pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson for assignment, the team announced on Saturday.
Woods Richardson has had a rough fifth season in the MLB. Through 10 starts this season, he's gone 0-7 with a 7.74 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with 47.2 innings pitched.
The 25-year-old's last start came on May 28, when he allowed five runs, five hits and three walks through 2.2 innings. He was briefly pulled from the rotation and made two appearances out of the bullpen earlier in the year.
The Twins recalled right-hander John Klein from triple-A in a corresponding move.
Woods Richardson was acquired by the Twins from the Blue Jays along with Austin Martin in 2021 in exchange for Jose Berrios. At the time, he was the 68th-ranked prospect in baseball.
In 65 career MLB games, Woods Richardson holds a 4.76 ERA and 1.389 WHIP with 258 strikeouts through 302.1 innings pitched.
