Richardson elected free agency Thursday after clearing waivers. He's opted to stay with the Brewers organization on a minor-league deal and will likely suit up for Triple-A Nashville. Richardson has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 4.48 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 60.1 innings.

Richardson cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Richardson was DFA'd by Milwaukee on Tuesday after making just one appearance with the team, and he'll now look for another opportunity in the open market. The 26-year-old has given up five earned runs in just 3.1 MLB innings this season but owns a 4.48 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 60.1 innings at Triple-A.

The Brewers designated Richardson for assignment Tuesday.

Aug 11Rotowire

Richardson appeared in one game after getting called up from Triple-A on Saturday, during which he gave up zero hits and a walk over 1.2 scoreless innings. He'll now lose his place on the active and 40-man rosters to make room for Bryse Wilson, who signed a major-league deal with the Crew on Tuesday.

The Brewers selected Richardson's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Aug 8Rotowire

Since signing a minor-league deal with Milwaukee in June, Richardson has turned in a 4.20 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 30 innings with Nashville. Although his Triple-A numbers aren't quite excellent, the Brewers will add him to their bullpen to give them another fresh arm to work with. Bryse Wilson was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

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.
