Richard is a former 8th round pick of the Chicago White Sox in the 2005 MLB draft. He has spent time with White Sox, Padres, and Chicago Cubs before returning to San Diego this week.

So far this season he has posted a 0-1 record with a 6.46 ERA. San Diego will go to a six rotation to end the year in order to preserve innings on some of their young arms.
