Richards didn't factor into the decision in Monday's game between the Padres and the Rockies. He tossed 3.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Richards was coming off back-to-back short outings and, while he was able to pitch into the fourth in this one, he left the contest still one out away from completing four innings. This was a bounce-back performance from the veteran, who was coming off a disastrous outing against the Mariners -- six runs in two-thirds of an inning -- his last time out.

Richards will start Monday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richards has had back-to-back short starts, with his most recent outing coming Thursday against the Mariners. During that appearance, he gave up six runs on four hits and two walks while striking out zero over two-thirds of an inning as he was charged with the loss. The brevity of Richards' recent appearances will allow him to start Monday at Coors Field on short rest as he attempts to turn things around.

Richards (1-2) took the loss in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against Seattle, pitching two-thirds of an inning and allowing six runs on four hits and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Richards struggled with both his control and command in the contest, throwing only 17 of 33 pitches for strikes and getting knocked around for a pair of home runs. It was the second short start in row for the right-hander, who lasted only two innings in his previous outing while also struggling to locate pitches in the strike zone. Richards will try to turn things around when he faces the Angels in a road tilt Thursday.

Richards allowed a run on four hits and three walks while striking out four in two innings versus the Astros on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Richards needed 64 pitches (36 strikes) to complete just the pair of innings. A Carlos Correa RBI single was the only damage on his line. Richards now has a 3.52 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 25 strikeouts through 30.2 innings. He'll look to last a bit longer in his next start, currently scheduled for Thursday versus the Mariners.

Richards allowed two runs on six hits and two walks across seven innings Sunday, striking out two in the loss to Arizona. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from a two-run homer by Kole Calhoun in the third inning, Richards kept the Arizona offense pretty silent. He left the game in line for the victory but unfortunately, the bullpen gave the game away. In his last two starts, Richards has lowered his ERA from 4.60 to 3.45. He'll face the Astros at home Friday.

Richards (1-1) pitched six innings against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out three to pick up the win.

EDGE Analysis

Richards yielded a run in the second inning but little else as he limited Los Angeles to eight baserunners in his six frames. The right-hander threw 59 of 86 pitches for strikes and got ahead of 16 of the 23 batters he faced. Both the win and the quality start were firsts this season for Richards, who has posted a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB through his first four starts. Richards is projected to make his next appearance on the road against Arizona on Sunday.

Richards will make his next start Tuesday against the Dodgers, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Richards was initially lined up to start Monday's series opener on his normal four days' rest, but Padres manager Jayce Tingler opted to give the right-hander an extra day of recovery. Luis Perdomo will move from the bullpen and make Monday's start, but the change won't dramatically alter Richards' fantasy outlook. The 32-year-old will still line up for a two-start week, with his second turn coming Sunday in Arizona.

Richards (0-1) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers. He gave up four runs on five hits and one walk while fanning four across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Richards has given up four runs in back-to-back starts and is yet to complete six full innings in any of his three outings this season. He will try to accomplish that in his next start, scheduled for Aug. 11 against the Dodgers once again, although that outing will come at Dodger Stadium.

Richards didn't factor into the decision in Friday's contest between the Rockies and the Padres. He allowed four runs on eight hits and one walk while fanning six across 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Richards has racked up 12 strikeouts in his first two starts but hasn't yet earned a win, though Friday's effort against the Padres was a step back compared to what he did in his season debut, when he tossed five scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks. His next scheduled start seems a lot tougher on paper -- he will face the Dodgers at home next Wednesday.

Richards pitched five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and three walks while striking out six in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Fully healthy for the first time since 2018, Richards had a strong start to the 2020 campaign despite not factoring into the result. The right-hander has battled injuries frequently since 2016, but a career 3.60 ERA indicates Richards can be a productive No. 3 starter for the Padres. His next turn on the mound comes Friday in Colorado.
