The Twins traded Woods Richardson to the Blue Jays on Wednesday in exchange for cash, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports. Woods Richardson was DFA'd by Minnesota on Saturday after putting up a 7.74 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over 47.2 innings. He'll reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon joining his new organization and could fill an immediate need for the big club, as the Blue Jays currently have 10 pitchers on the injured list.

Simeon Woods Richardson: Breaking News
DFA'd by Twins
The Twins designated Woods Richardson for assignment Saturday. Woods Richardson has struggled to the tune of a 7.74 ERA and 1.89 WHIP through 47.2 innings this season, and following his five-run, 2.2-inning spot start Friday, the Twins have officially decided to remove him from their big-league roster. John Klein was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.
Struggles in spot start
Woods Richardson (0-7) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters over 2.2 innings in a loss to the White Sox on Thursday. Woods Richardson was called upon to start after Kendry Rojas was a late scratch due to an elbow issue. The starting role wasn't new to Woods Richardson -- he started for the 10th time through 12 outings this season -- but the last-minute adjustment may have played a part in his poor outing. The right-hander struggled with his control, throwing just 40 of 67 pitches for strikes while issuing three free passes. Those walks hurt him, as all three resulted in a Chicago score. The final blow for Woods Richardson was a bases-clearing double by Randal Grichuk, which ended the hurler's outing after just 2.2 frames. Rojas had been scheduled to work as Minnesota's sixth starter Thursday, and that may not have been a long-term rotation structure, so Woods Richardson may return to the bullpen after Thursday's rough outing.
