Garrett Richards (RP - FA)

SP Garrett Richards started the Minor League Spring Training game vs. the Brewers on Tuesday. The right-hander gave up one run on four hits with one strikeout.

Fantasy Impact
The high pitch count is encouraging for Garrett Richards who avoided Tommy John surgery last season, opting instead for stem cell treatment. He has elite stuff with a 3.11 ERA over the last three years and a strikeout rate of 8.2 SO/9. The Angels have suggested that the 28-year-old will be limited to 100 pitches in his starts this season, which could impact the number of wins he can secure.
