Woods Richardson was pushed back from his scheduled start on Sunday, with a stomach issue according to reports. McCaughan has only started six games in his MLB career, but he has pitched 61.1 total innings in the big leagues since 2021.

McCaughan has started 10 games with Triple-A St. Paul this season, and he has compiled a 5.35 ERA with 66 stirkeouts. He's pitched only 5.1 innings of relief work in the big leagues this season, but he could be an option they lean on to replace Woods Richardson's spot in the rotation.
