Milwaukee Brewers Bryan Hudson To 15-Day IL With Oblique Strain
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Bryan Hudson has been placed on the 15-day IL with a left oblique strain, according to the team. The Brewers recalled lefthander Tyler Jay from Triple-A Nashville to take his roster spot. Hudson has been a revelation for the Brewers this season, earning four wins while posting a 1.60 ERA, a 0.75 WHIP, and 54 strikeouts in 50 innings out of the bullpen. It's not known at this time how long Hudson will be out, but the team is expecting ace closer Devin Williams back in the next few days to help offset his loss.
Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Bryan Hudson was told that he's made the team's Opening Day roster out of spring training. Hudson was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in January and will now open the 2024 season pitching out of Milwaukee's bullpen. The 26-year-old southpaw made his MLB debut last year with the Dodgers and allowed seven earned runs on 12 hits (one homer) while walking four and striking out seven in 8 2/3 innings of relief. He was dominant in the Cactus League this spring, fanning 19 and walking just five in 12 2/3 frames to earn himself a roster spot to begin the year. Joel Payamps, Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill could all be in the mix for saves with Devin Williams (back) unavailable for a while, but Hudson could see high-leverage situations as a late-inning setup man.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded reliever Bryan Hudson to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for prospect Justin Chambers and a player to be named later or cash. The 26-year-old has been designated for assignment by the Dodgers to clear a 40-man roster spot for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Hudson, a third-round pick by the Cubs in 2015, made his pro debut that same season and reached the big leagues in the 2023 campaign. He worked to a 7.27 ERA across six relief outings in the majors but also posted an excellent 2.43 ERA alongside a massive 35.7% K% in 46 appearances (eight starts) at the Triple-A level a season ago. The 2023 season marked the first time Hudson made a start since making seven of them in High-A ball in 2019 while in the Cubs organization.
