Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson announced his retirement shortly after the Dodgers won the World Series on Wednesday evening. Hudson stated that he "cannot make it another 162" and will instead opt to cap off his 15-year career with a championship. This season, Hudson operated in a high leverage role for the Dodgers and held a solid 3.00 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with ten saves across 63 innings of work. During October he allowed five earned runs in six innings of work. The now two-time World Series Champion ends his career with a cumulative 3.74 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 43 saves in 855 1/3 innings of work.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (lower body) is available to pitch in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday at Citi Field against the New York Mets after he had a "lower-body" issue in Game 2 on Monday. The 37-year-old veteran right-hander threw a scoreless frame in the Game 1 win over the Mets on Sunday while walking one and striking out one, but he was unavailable to pitch on Tuesday due to his injury. It sounds like he's fine after an off day on Tuesday. In four appearances out of LA's bullpen this postseason, Hudson hasn't allowed a run in 3 1/3 frames while giving up two hits, one walk and two strikeouts. Hudson will be available in a middle-relief role for the pivotal Game 3 on Wednesday at Citi Field.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson picked up his ninth save of the season in Monday's 5-2 win over the Brewers. Hudson came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by three and delivered a 1-2-3 performance with no strikeouts. Despite converting just nine of 15 save opportunities this season, the 37-year-old veteran has pitched well overall, compiling a 2.02 ERA with a 9.18 K/9 rate and a 2.02 BB/9 rate in 49 innings of work. The Dodgers have spread the save opportunities among their bullpen once again this season, with three different relievers seeing a save opportunity in the last seven days. However, Hudson has been the best of them lately and has served as a closer at times throughout his career, so he seems to be the arm to roster for fantasy down the stretch.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson recorded his eighth save in Monday's 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, allowing one hit in an 11-pitch ninth inning. Hudson's save was his first since July 22, having held two games while blowing his sixth save opportunity in between. He is 6-1 with a 1.76 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 46 innings over 47 games, striking out 48 and walking 10. Hudson continues to be the Dodgers' top option for save opportunities, and as long as he is, fantasy managers will have to make room for him.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson recorded his seventh save in Monday's 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Hudson struck out two and walked one in his 19-pitch outing, his fourth straight appearance with a save. He is now (6-1) with a 1.52 ERA, a 0.80 WHIP over his 41 1/3 innings, and 13 holds. Hudson continues as the Dodgers' stopper over Evan Phillips, who has blown his past two save opportunities while watching his ERA climb to 2.73. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to add Hudson if he is still available on waiver wires.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson locked down Monday's win over the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, striking out two batters in a clean ninth inning for his third save. Hudson needed 20 pitches to retire the side in order and stymie Arizona's late comeback attempt, but he got the job done in Monday's save situation. The 37-year-old veteran right-hander has flourished out of LA's bullpen this season, posting a 2.70 ERA and 0.75 WHIP while fanning 22 and walking only one with three saves over 20 innings of work. While save opportunities have been few and far between for the Dodgers as of late, Hudson should be viewed as the temporary favorite for ninth-inning work until star closer Evan Phillips (hamstring) returns from his minor-league rehab assignment.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson was called upon to close out Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. The right-hander tossed on scoreless inning on only 12 pitches to record his second save of the season. Hudson blew a save on Friday but redeemed himself during this outing. The expectation is that the Dodgers are planning to use closer-by-committee until Evan Phillips (hamstring) is able to return. Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia should also be in the mix alongside Hudson.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson is expected to see a larger role in the bullpen going forward. The team was forced to place closer Evan Phillips (hamstring) on the injured list prior to Sunday's game. He's expected to miss at least two weeks of action, which should open up a role for Hudson in high leverage spots. Blake Treinen is also an option for the ninth inning, so possibly they split up the role. Fantasy managers might have to wait and see what Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts does with his bullpen.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson tossed a scoreless ninth inning to record his first save of the season on Sunday in a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Hudson didn't allow a baserunner and struck out a pair. The 37-year-old hasn't been able to stay healthy for a couple of years, as he tore his ACL in 2022 and then sprained his MCL after just three appearances in 2023. If he does manage to stay healthy, he is the second man up for saves in Los Angeles and should be their main eighth-inning guy. This makes him a great option in saves-plus-holds leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that relievers Blake Treinen (shoulder), Daniel Hudson (knee) and J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) are all tracking to be on the active roster to kick off the season in a two-game series against the division-rival San Diego Padres in Korea. Roberts said Hudson is still working through some execution stuff after missing close to two seasons due to injuries. The 36-year-old Hudson made just three appearances in 2023 and will give them veteran depth in the bullpen, but he's not on the fantasy radar. Neither is Treinen, 35, who made five appearances in 2022 and three rehab outings in 2023 after having shoulder surgery. He's going to need to prove himself before he's given a high-leverage role in the 'pen again.

Right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson has agreed to re-sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday on a minor-league deal, according to sources. The 36-year-old missed most of this past season with knee injuries and will earn $2 million if he makes the team with up to $2 million more in performance bonuses. It might be more of a long shot for Hudson to return to his previous form at his age, but the Dodgers were willing to take a low-cost chance on it happening as extra depth for their bullpen in 2024. Before his knee issues, Hudson was strong for the Blue in 2022 with a 2.22 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and five saves in 25 appearances out of the bullpen. He also has 14 years of major-league experience and 33 career saves on his ledger.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson is set to become a free agent this winter. The organization has decided to decline the $6.5 million player option on Hudson for the upcoming 2024 campaign. It's not shocking to see the Dodgers move on from Hudson after he was only able to pitch in three games this past season. When healthy, Hudson has shown to be a reliable option out of the bullpen. That being said, Hudson shouldn't have any issues finding a landing spot this offseason.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson (knee), who is dealing with a right-knee ligament sprain, is scheduled to pitch in the team's intrasquad game on Thursday. Hudson won't be ready to go for the start of the National League Division Series on Saturday, but he hasn't given up on pitching again this year if the Dodgers advance to the NL Championship Series. The 36-year-old veteran has been on the shelf since early July, but he could become a weapon for the back end of the Dodgers bullpen if they make another deep playoff run. Hudson only threw three innings during the 2023 regular season because of injuries and only threw 24 1/3 innings the previous year as well.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (knee) is a longshot to return this season, according to manager Dave Roberts. This isn't surprising news, as things looked bleak after Hudson sprained his MCL in his right knee in his third appearance after returning from a torn ACL in his other knee. The Dodgers probably won't want to risk further injury to Hudson, but if his condition improves he could get into some postseason games. Either way, he won't be of any value in fantasy for the rest of the season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired right-hander Tyson Miller from the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations after Miller was designated for assignment last week. In a corresponding move, the team moved reliever Daniel Hudson (knee) to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster. Miller will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City after allowing six earned runs on nine hits while walking three and striking out seven in 9 1/3 relief innings in Milwaukee this year. Hudson figures to miss most of the rest of the regular season in 2023 after spraining the MCL in his right knee during his lone save before the All-Star break. The 36-year-old veteran right-hander won't be able to return until early September.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (knee) is dealing with a sprained MCL in his right knee and will be out "quite some time," according to manager Dave Roberts. It's not the same knee that Hudson already had surgery on to fix a torn ACL. The veteran right-hander picked up his first save of the season on Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates in just his third appearance of 2023, but he could now be out well into the second half of the season for the Blue. It's bad news for the Dodgers bullpen, especially with setup man Brusdar Graterol currently nursing an arm injury. Evan Phillips will continue to serve as LA's primary closer, but he was unavailable on Wednesday due to a recent heavy workload. Those that recently picked up Hudson can probably send him right back to the waiver wire.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Daniel Hudson was trusted with the ninth inning on Wednesday, trying to protect a two-run lead against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He allowed no runs and worked around one hit and two walks while striking out a pair. It was Hudson's first save of the season after beginning the year on the injured list and missing the first three months. So far, across three innings, the 36-year-old has yet to give up a run while posting a 1.67 WHIP and 35.7% strikeout rate. Evan Phillips is still the main ninth-inning arm, but Hudson has some experience closing with 33 career saves under his belt and could earn a handful of saves this year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (knee) from the 60-day injured list on Friday. In corresponding moves, the Dodgers optioned right-hander Nick Robertson to Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated right-hander Ricky Venasco for assignment. Hudson will be making his season debut when he gets into a game. The 36-year-old right-handed veteran missed the first three months of the season after tearing his ACL a year ago. Expect the Dodgers to ease Hudson back into the fold, but before long, he should be tasked with a high-leverage role as at least a setup arm in line for holds and the occasional save chance. In his 13-year MLB career, Hudson has 32 saves, a 3.81 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 22.6% strikeout rate.

According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, reliever Daniel Hudson (knee) will travel to the team's spring training complex and throw an inning on Tuesday. Assuming everything goes well, the 36-year-old could be activated for next weekend's series in Kansas City. Hudson appeared in 25 games last season and went 2-3 with five saves and nine holds. But unfortunately, he tore his ACL in June 2022 and has been working his way back since. However, unless he lands a routine role, he won't offer consistent fantasy value, although he's worth monitoring in case things change.
