The Minnesota Twins have recalled right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson to start against the Texas Rangers, necessitated by injuries to starters Pablo López and Zebby Matthews. Woods Richardson began the season with a 5.02 ERA over eight appearances and was sent down to Triple-A after struggling. López, the Twins' ace, is sidelined for two to three months with a Grade 2 shoulder strain, while Matthews is expected to return sooner after a moderate shoulder strain. This puts pressure on the Twins' pitching staff, which has been performing well, ranking ninth in MLB starting pitching with a 3.64 ERA.
