Brewers' Lyon Richardson: Nabs MiLB pact with Brewers
The Brewers signed Richardson to a minor-league contract Thursday, Jim Goulart of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Richardson elected free agency last week after being booted off the Reds' 40-man roster. The 26-year-old holds a career 6.67 ERA and 46:39 K:BB over 56.2 innings covering parts of four seasons at the major-league level. Richardson will report to the Brewers' Arizona Complex League affiliate for now but should move up to Triple-A Nashville soon.

Lyon Richardson: Reaches free agency
Richardson elected to become a free agent Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Richardson cleared waivers after being removed from the Reds' 40-man roster, but he's exercised his right to hit the free-agent market rather than accept an outright assignment. The right-hander holds a career 6.67 ERA and 46:39 K:BB over 56.2 innings covering parts of four seasons at the major-league level.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: DFA'd by Reds
The Reds designated Richardson for assignment Tuesday.
Richardson served as the opener Monday versus Kansas City and took the loss after surrendering four runs over one inning, and he's now been removed from both the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Brandon Leibrandt was also DFA'd, opening up roster space for the promotions of Zach McCambley and Luis Mey.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Allows four runs as opener
Richardson (0-1) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Royals after allowing four runs on one hit and two walks in one inning. He also struck out two.
Richardson was facing a two-out, bases-loaded situation when Lane Thomas smashed a 106.3 mph missile into left-center field to give the Royals an advantage they'd never relinquish. Richardson was removed after that first inning, and his ERA now sits at 27.00 after just two big-league appearances this year. In 1.2 innings, he's given up five earned runs and two homers with a 3:2 K:BB.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Drawing short-notice start
The Reds announced that Richardson will serve as their opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Royals.
With Chase Burns (illness) being scratched from his scheduled turn through the rotation on short notice, the Reds will turn to Richardson to make his first big-league start since 2023. Prior to being promoted from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, Richardson has worked between two and three innings in nine of his 18 appearances in the minors this season, so he should be capable of providing a little more length than the typical opener. That said, Richardson isn't expected to work deep into Monday's contest, so the Reds could count on new call-up Brandon Leibrandt -- who had been starting with Louisville -- to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Selected from Louisville
The Reds selected Richardson's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
Richardson has been with Louisville all season, turning in a 4.75 ERA and 1.26 WHIP alongside a 34:14 K:BB through 30.1 innings. He'll head to the majors as a replacement for Pierce Johnson (elbow) and likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's with the Reds. Kyle Nicolas was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Outrighted to Triple-A
The Reds outrighted Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Richardson is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The right-hander finished 2025 with a 4.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 30:21 K:BB across 37.2 regular-season innings for Cincinnati.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Pushed off 40-man
The Reds designated Richardson for assignment Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Following the Reds' acquisition of outfielder Dane Myers (knee) from Miami on Saturday, Richardson will end up as the roster casualty necessary to create space on the 40-man. The 25-year-old reliever finished 2025 with a 4.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 30:21 K:BB across 37.2 regular-season innings. However, his 4.06 FIP indicates that he performed slightly better than what his base stats suggest, and there's a chance another team in need of bullpen depth claims the right-hander off waivers.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Sent to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Richardson will be sent down to the minors alongside Yosver Zulueta in order to make room on the active roster for Graham Ashcraft (forearm) and Chase Burns (elbow), both of whom returned from the injured list Thursday. Richardson, 25, surrendered three earned runs in one inning during his lone appearance since being promoted Sept. 3 and now carries a 4.54 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 37.2 MLB frames.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Sent back to minors
The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Cincinnati and Atlanta were granted a 27th player on the active roster Sunday during the completion of the suspended Speedway Classic game, and Richardson filled that role for the Reds. The righty struck out three over two scoreless innings Sunday and will now rejoin Louisville's bullpen.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Back with big club
Richardson was brought up from Triple-A Louisville to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
After the Speedway Classic was suspended Saturday in the first inning following multiple rain delays, Atlanta and Cincinnati will resume the game Sunday. Because starter Chase Burns won't pitch after tossing a perfect inning a day earlier, the Reds will lean on a slew of relievers to get them through the contest. Richardson will be a candidate to head back to Louisville immediately after the contest.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Dispatched to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville following Friday's game against Atlanta.
Richardson will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander Zack Littell, whom Cincinnati acquired from Tampa Bay prior to Thursday's trade deadline.

Cincinnati will announce a corresponding roster move Friday, when Hunter Greene (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start the Reds' series opener versus the Cubs.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Back in majors
The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
The right-hander was optioned to Louisville on Thursday but will be able to quickly rejoin the Reds since Tyler Callihan (forearm) was placed on the injured list. Richardson has appeared in two games for Cincinnati this year and has allowed one earned run with a 2:1 K:BB over four innings.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Sent back to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Richardson was needed for three innings in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. Yosver Zulueta was called up from Triple-A to take over Richardson's spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Joining big club
The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
With Ian Gibaut (shoulder) bound for the injured list, Richardson will come up from Triple-A to help bolster Cincinnati's bullpen depth. The 25-year-old righty owns a 4.15 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 13 innings at Louisville this season, but he'll likely be limited to low-leverage situations, given his career 9.35 ERA in the majors.

The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Richardson has had a nice spring with a 2.00 ERA and nine strikeouts over nine innings, but he will nonetheless begin the season at Louisville. The 25-year-old will be part of Louisville's rotation.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Knocked around in exhibition
Richardson (undisclosed) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one over one inning during Saturday's Cactus League game against the Brewers.
Richardson has returned to health after an unspecified injury sidelined him near the end of the 2024 season. This wasn't a great start to camp for someone who is competing for a big-league roster spot, though he should get a few more opportunities to show what he can do.
