Garrett Richards moved to bullpen for rest of season

Garrett Richards has been shifted to the bullpen for the remainder of the season. The Padres will use Richards out of the 'pen for the playoffs. It does not appear as if he is going to have a 'bulk' role because he was used on Wednesday as a traditional reliever. (Jeff Sanders on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Richards has a 4.37 ERA in 47 1/3 innings pitched for the Padres this season. The Padres bullpen is already crowded at the back end so Richards doesn't figure to be in the mix for saves. If the Padres announced they were going to use him as a 'bulk' reliever he would be worth consideration as a streamer depending on match-up for those who need wins otherwise he can be left on the Waiver Wire.
