Daniel Hudson News
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.

It remains to be seen if Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson (knee) will be ready for the start of the 2023 season after tearing his ACL in June of last year. But when he's ready, he could see a healthy amount of save chances in LA in what is expected to be a committee approach to the ninth inning among Hudson, Evan Phillips, Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol. The 35-year-old right-hander had allowed only six earned runs on five walks and 30 strikeouts while recording five saves and nine holds in 24 1/3 innings before his season-ending knee injury in 2022. In 2021 with the Nationals and Padres, Hudson had a solid 3.31 ERA (3.21 FIP), 1.08 WHIP and career-high 35.7% strikeout rate. The veteran high-end reliever is getting up there in age, but as long as he's healthy, he could return some very nice late-round fantasy value for those speculating on saves. Don't forget: Hudson pitches for one of the best teams in baseball.
