Fantasy Impact: Richardson, a former second-round pick out of high school by the Reds in the 2018 MLB Draft, appeared in 39 games with Cincinnati from 2023-25. The righthander has pitched to a 6.05 career ERA in 55 innings at the big league level. Command has been an issue for Richardson as he has allowed 37 walks in those 55 innings. He has, however, averaged more than a strikeout per inning in his six minor league seasons.

Fantasy Impact: A former sixth-round pick by the Reds in the 2023 MLB Draft, O'Donnell has not gone past Double-A during his three-year professional career. Last season, the 23-year-old outfielder batted .236 with seven home runs and 20 stolen bases at Double-A Chattanooga. O'Donnell hit .269 with 10 homers and 31 stolen bases with High-A Dayton the year prior. A decent combination of a little pop and speed, O'Donnell could definitely see a role in the big leagues at some point. But, more than likely, it won't be in 2026.
