Player Outlook
Daniel Hudson was limited to just three innings in 2023 after dealing with knee issues all season. First, he had a delayed start to the campaign while recovering from 2022 surgery to repair his ACL. However, when he made it back, he quickly suffered a sprained MCL in the other knee that ultimately ended his season. The Dodgers declined Hudson's $6.5 million team option for 2024, but recently re-signed the 36-year-old to a minor-league contract. If health permits, he'll have the opportunity to earn a spot in the Dodgers' bullpen out of spring training.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Deployed in sixth inning Thursday

    Rotowire
    Hudson earned a hold against the Giants on Thursday, walking one batter and striking out two in a scoreless sixth inning. Hudson had earned a save in each of his previous four outings coming into Thursday, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts decided to bring him in with Los Angeles up 4-2 in the sixth frame. The veteran reliever issued a two-out walk but kept the team's lead intact with a scoreless inning. Meanwhile, Evan Phillips -- who has been Los Angeles' primary closer for most of the campaign -- worked the seventh inning Thursday, while recent signee Brent Honeywell got the ninth and notched a save. Hudson is the most likely reliever on the team to be called upon for save chances, but it's clear that Roberts isn't tied to any individual closer and won't hesitate to use his top high-leverage options in situations outside of the ninth inning.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Nabs seventh save

    Rotowire
    Hudson walked one and struck out two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Monday's 3-2 win over the Giants. Hudson's importance in the Dodgers' bullpen continues to grow, especially given Evan Phillips' recent struggles. Hudson has earned a save in each of his last four appearances, and he hasn't given up a run over his last 7.2 innings while posting a 9:4 K:BB in that span. The veteran right-hander is up to seven saves along with 13 holds this year, and he's pitched to a 1.52 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB through 41.1 innings overall.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Secures save in return

    Rotowire
    Hudson (back) allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox. Hudson was sidelined by a stiff back heading into the All-Star break, but it appears the time off served him well. He hasn't allowed a run over six innings in July, adding a 7:3 K:BB with two saves, one hold and a 1-0 record this month. The right-hander remains a key high-leverage arm for the Dodgers with five saves, 13 holds, a 1.59 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 43:7 K:BB through 39.2 innings this season.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Nursing stiff back

    Rotowire
    Hudson wasn't available out of the bullpen for Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers due to back stiffness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Hudson has been dealing with the injury for the last couple of days, which likely explains why he also went unused in the 11-9 extra-inning loss to Detroit on Saturday, when manager Dave Roberts turned to less-trusted bullpen arms in Ricky Vanasco and Yohan Ramirez late in the game in high-leverage spots. The Dodgers seem to be viewing Hudson as day-to-day with the hope that he'll be ready to pitch coming out of the All-Star break.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Earns fourth save

    Rotowire
    Hudson earned the save against the Tigers on Friday, walking two and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning. The Dodgers deployed closer Evan Phillips in the sixth inning, ensuring he would get some work after he hadn't pitched since July 6, so Hudson was called upon to protect a 4-3 lead in the ninth and did so despite throwing just 10 strikes on 25 pitches. This was Hudson's first save since May 20, as Alex Vesia likely would have worked the ninth had he been available Friday. On the year, Hudson owns four saves and 13 holds with a 1.63 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 42:7 K:BB over 38.2 innings.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Bridges gap to closer for hold

    Rotowire
    Hudson earned a hold against Kansas City on Sunday, striking out two batters in a perfect eighth inning. Tyler Glasnow gave Los Angeles seven shutout frames, and manager Dave Roberts then turned to Hudson to protect a three-run lead. The veteran reliever did so without any trouble, retiring all three batters he faced on 10 pitches. Hudson has been excellent for the Dodgers this season, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 31:3 K:BB over 28 innings while recording 10 holds, three saves and three wins. He's gone 13 straight outings without giving up a run, posting a 15:2 K:BB during that stretch.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Nabs win in Tuesday's matinee

    Rotowire
    Hudson (2-1) gave up two hits and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, recording the win in a 5-2 extra-inning victory. Entering the game in the bottom of the ninth and the score tied, 2-2, Hudson very nearly handed New York the win, loading the bases with just one out. The veteran right-hander bore down and coaxed popups from Tyrone Taylor and Jeff McNeil to end the threat. Hudson has been sharp in May, collecting two saves, a win and a hold in seven appearances with a 1.29 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB, but with Evan Phillips (hamstring) due back by the end of the week, the former's stint as a fill-in closer is due to end.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Nabs third save

    Rotowire
    Hudson struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks. Hudson is on a five-inning scoreless streak dating back to his May 8 save versus the Marlins. He's served as the Dodgers' top closing option since Evan Phillips (hamstring) went on the injured list earlier in May, though save chances have been sparse. Hudson has two saves since Phillips was hurt, while J.P. Feyereisen, who was reassigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City over the weekend, is the only other reliever to pick up a save in that span. For the season, Hudson is at a 2.70 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 22:1 K:BB with three saves and eight holds over 20 innings.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Converts for second save

    Rotowire
    Hudson earned the save Wednesday against Miami, striking out one over a perfect inning. Closer Evan Phillips (hamstring) landed on the injured list Sunday, and it didn't take long for Hudson to step in for the ninth inning. However, it was lefty Alex Vesia who tallied Los Angeles' first save Monday in the wake of the injury. Matchups could dictate which reliever manager Dave Roberts turns to while Phillips is sidelined, which should give Hudson an edge in volume since he's a right-hander.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Coulds see save chances

    Rotowire
    Hudson is the likely favorite for save opportunities after Dodgers closer Evan Phillips (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. Hudson has been working in a setup role in the early stages of the season, putting him in prime position to fill in at closer for the Dodgers. The right-hander has seven holds and a save with a 3.60 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB over 15 innings this year. Phillips' injury was diagnosed as a Grade 1 strain, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, so a return at the 15-day minimum is possible.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Locks down save

    Rotowire
    Hudson struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning and earned a save over St. Louis on Sunday. Hudson made quick work of the Cardinals with 16 pitches, including five whiffs. The veteran righty was given the shot in the ninth inning after Evan Phillips pitched both Friday and Saturday. Hudson has tossed three scoreless frames with four punchouts to begin the year.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Officially added to roster

    Rotowire
    The Dodgers selected Hudson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, J.P. Hoornstra of DodgersNation.com reports. Hudson had already been told he would be part of the Opening Day bullpen, so his addition was merely a formality. The 37-year-old has missed most of the last two seasons with knee issues but has been superb when on the mound, holding a 1.98 ERA and 35:8 K:BB over 27.1 innings during that span. He figures to be used in a setup role.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Will be part of Opening Day roster

    Rotowire
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Hudson "will be in our bullpen," Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. Hudson is attending camp as a non-roster invitee, but Roberts' comments imply that the veteran reliever will be added to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of the Dodgers' March 20 season opener versus the Padres in South Korea. Though he missed most of the last two seasons with knee issues, Hudson has been healthy thus far in spring training. Hudson hasn't been overly sharp in 3.2 Cactus League innings, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks, but the Dodgers will bet on the veteran right-hander's track record as they include him in their bullpen.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Could pitch in Korea series

    Rotowire
    Hudson (knee) is trending toward being on the active roster for the March 20-21 series against the Padres in South Korea, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Friday that Hudson still needs to refine his execution after missing most of the last two seasons with knee issues. However, it does not appear there are any physical limitations for Hudson at this juncture. The veteran reliever is in camp as a non-roster invitee, but it sounds like the Dodgers fully intend to add him to the 26-man roster.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Re-signed to minors contract

    Rotowire
    The Dodgers re-signed Hudson (knee) to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Hudson will earn $2 million if he cracks the major-league roster in Los Angeles, and the deal also includes another $2 million in performance-based bonuses. The veteran reliever made only three big-league appearances in 2023 because of serious knee issues, but he held a 2.96 ERA and 105:21 K:BB in 76 innings between 2021-22 and is expected to carry a clean bill of health into spring training in 2024.

  • Daniel Hudson: Becomes free agent

    Rotowire
    The Dodgers declined Hudson's (knee) $6.5 million club option for 2024 on Sunday. Hudson missed the second half of the 2023 campaign due to a sprained MCL in his right knee. However, he aimed to return to the Dodgers' bullpen if they advanced to the NLCS, so it seems as though he's at least close to full health as he prepares for free agency.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Set for intrasquad appearance

    Rotowire
    Hudson (knee) is scheduled to pitch in an intrasquad game Thursday at Dodger Stadium, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. Hudson has been sidelined since early July because of a sprained MCL in his right knee and won't be ready for the NLDS, but he is aiming to return to the Dodgers' bullpen if they advance to the NLCS. The veteran reliever resumed facing live hitters in late September and has progressed without issue so far.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Won't return before NLCS

    Rotowire
    Hudson (knee) is slated to throw live batting practice during the Dodgers' upcoming road trip and could return to game action if the team advances to the NLCS, per the Associated Press. Hudson has been out with a sprained MCL in his right knee since July 5 and has pitched in just three major-league games this season. He only recently resumed throwing to live hitters, so he still has a ways to go until he could potentially be ready for game action. The Dodgers have already wrapped up a spot in the NLDS, but Hudson won't be ready to return for that series. Should Los Angeles advance past that round, however, the veteran reliever could be added to the roster for the NLCS, which begins Oct. 16.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Longshot to return

    Rotowire
    Hudson (knee) is a "longshot" to return this season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. The Dodgers have tried to keep the door open for Hudson to return this season, though it seems as if that hope is fading. Manager Dave Roberts relayed that Hudson threw a bullpen session recently but was still dealing with soreness in his knee. It's unclear whether he could make a return for the postseason, or if a return to start 2024 is most realistic.

  • Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Moved to 60-day IL

    Rotowire
    Hudson (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. The move was made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Tyson Miller. Hudson sprained the MCL in his right knee just before the All-Star break and now won't be eligible to return until early September.
