Daniel Hudson News
The Los Angeles Dodgers may have seen Max Scherzer and Corey Seager sign with other teams Monday, but they brought back an old friend in relief pitcher Daniel Hudson, who spent 2018 in Dodger blue. The contract is a one-year deal worth $7 million dollars. The 34-year-old Hudson has made 454 career appearances, recording a 3.86 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 27 saves and 719 strikeouts in 765 innings. He is not expected to act as closer in Los Angeles, though he could play a role as a key setup man if he can limit home runs, as has been a challenge throughout his career. He will only hold value in the deepest holds leagues.
San Diego Padres reliever Daniel Hudson continued his poor run as a Friar Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, suffering three earned runs in innings. Entering the seventh with a 6-1 lead, Hudson permitted a walk and double before striking out two batters. He was lifted after issuing another free pass but was charged with all three baserunners as reliever Emilio Pagan served a grand slam to the next batter. After a lights-out 2.20 ERA with the Washington Nationals, Hudson has posted an ugly 8.10 ERA in 10 appearances with San Diego. With the bullpen going off the rails, Hudson will continue receiving opportunities, but his chances in high-leverage should narrow.
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Daniel Hudson entered Monday night's game against the Colorado Rockies in the bottom of the ninth inning with the score tied, but he wasn't able to keep the Rockies off the board. He took the loss in a close 6-5 game, allowing a one-out walk-off home run to C.J. Cron. It's his 2nd loss in what has been a very solid season for the right-hander. With Drew Pomeranz out for the year, Hudson could be the primary set-up man to closer Mark Melancon. This makes him a value in holds leagues, and primes him for a bigger role should Melancon face any injury or performance issues.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson is expected to start the season in the mix for saves in Washington. However, it remains to be seen if he stays in that role for long. The Nationals signing of Brad Hand allows them to utilize the lefty/righty combination for matchups, limiting Hudson's save potential. Hudson didn't make his 2020 debut until last July, yet still led the team with 10 saves despite putting up a 6.10 ERA over 20 2/3 innings (21 appearances). Hudson also had a 4.01 SIERA and 5.13 xFIP and was punished by a career-high 21.4% HR/FB rate. The problem for Hudson was that he also allowed his highest fly-ball rate (57.1%) since his 2009 debut season.Of the 14 earned runs Hudson gave up last year, nine of them came against the Braves in four outings (3 2/3 innings), and although he had a 2.65 ERA against all other teams, the National League East opponents he'll be facing all look better on paper as they did in 2020. While Hudson did improve his strikeout rate to a career-high 30.4% last year, which led to 28 strikeouts, his walk rate ballooned to 12.0%. Those walks will lead to even bigger problems if he can't cut down on the number of fly balls he allows. Hudson has an ADP of 388, and other than a late-round speculative dart throw for saves, Hudson offers little fantasy value.
