Fantasy Impact

Despite a solid performance that showcased his ability to manage contact and rack up strikeouts, Woods Richardson was left without a decision, and the Twins ultimately fell. His season ERA now sits at an even 4.00 with a WHIP of 1.25, reflecting a stable, if unspectacular, year. His 7.8 K/9 rate and 4.04 FIP suggest he's been somewhat effective, though not dominant. Fantasy managers should view Woods Richardson as a reliable, middle-of-the-rotation starter who can provide decent strikeout numbers and generally keep his team in games, though wins might be hard to come by on a consistent basis.
