Settles down after rough start Richards allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one over two innings in Monday's game against the Braves.

Impact Richards labored through the first inning, in which the Braves did all their damage. They could have done more, but the Red Sox rolled the inning after Richards threw 23 pitches. The right-hander settled down in the second frame, retiring the side in order on seven pitches. Richards, who is projected to serve as Boston's No. 3 starter, told Ian Browne of MLB.com that he was too mechanical in the first inning before being more aggressive in the second.

Won't return to rotation Padres manager Jayce Tingler suggested Wednesday that Richards will remain in the bullpen regardless of the status of injured starter Mike Clevinger (biceps), Jeff Sanders of The S...

Impact Clevinger was pulled due to a recurrence of biceps tightness after only one inning Wednesday, putting his postseason availability in doubt and potentially opening up a spot in the rotation. Despite the possible need for a replacement starter, Tingler suggested that the team's plan for Richards to pitch out of the bullpen will remain unchanged. The comment is somewhat surprising given Richards' general effectiveness as a starter this season; he gave up three earned runs or fewer in seven of his 10 starts.

Shifting to bullpen Richards will work out of the bullpen for the final stretch of the regular season, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact The right-hander worked as a reliever during Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers, allowing a solo homer with one strikeout and one walk over one inning. The Padres have three scheduled off days over the final 11 days of the season, so the team won't require a fifth starter until the playoffs. Richards could rejoin the rotation during the final weekend series, depending how the Friars want to structure the rotation entering the playoffs.

Pitches well in no-decision Richards allowed a run on two hits and two walks and struck out three over 4.1 innings in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Giants. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Richards allowed an RBI dounle to Mike Yastrzemski in the second inning, but that was the only damage on his line. Unfortunately, the Padres' offense didn't produce enough to put Richards in position for a win. The 32-year-old lowered his ERA to 4.27 with a 1.29 WHIP and 41 strikeouts in 46.1 innings this season. Richards is expected to face the Mariners on Saturday in his next start.

Starting Sunday's nightcap Richards will start Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Giants.

Impact The 32-year-old was originally slated to start Friday's contest, but the first two games of the series were postponed after the Giants produced a positive test for COVID-19, which has since been determined to have been a false positive. Mike Clevinger will start the matinee for the Friars.

Scheduled start postponed Richards' start scheduled for Friday was postponed after a player for the Giants tested positive for COVID-19.

Impact Friday's game was called off just before the first pitch due to the positive COVID-19 test. Contact tracing hasn't been done yet, and it's unclear how the postponement will impact the Padres' schedule going forward.
