Daniel Hudson News
The Los Angeles Dodgers are picking up right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson's (knee) $6.5 million option for the 2023 season, according to sources. Hudson posted an excellent 2.22 ERA (2.04 FIP), a 0.90 WHIP, five saves and 30 strikeouts for LA in 24 1/3 innings out of the bullpen this year before suffering a season-ending torn ACL. The Dodgers will also likely get a team option for the 2024 season worth around $6.5 million on Hudson. Along with his five saves, the 35-year-old veteran also had nine holds, but his season came to an end in June. Hudson isn't going to be the Dodgers closer next year, but he should see a handful of chances and will remain relevant in holds leagues if he continues to pitch well.
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Daniel Hudson closed out the team's 6-1 victory over the New York Mets on Friday to earn his fourth save of the year. He pitched the final 1 1/3 innings of the game and allowed one hit, no walks and no runs while striking out two. The team's primary closer, Craig Kimbrel, closed out Thursday's game and he was unavailable on the previous day, Wednesday, as he was working on some mechanical issues. The team appears to be managing his workload closely at this moment, which led to him not being deployed on Friday. Hudson seems to be the clear next-man-up for saves in the Dodgers bullpen. He's now 4-for-4 in save opportunities with a 1.96 ERA and a 0.76 WHIP on the year.
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson picked up the save against the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, closing out the 3-2 win. The right-hander got the ninth-inning nod since Craig Kimbrel threw 26 pitches the night before, and he was effective despite serving up a leadoff double to Ketel Marte. Hudson went on to generate a groundout and a pair of strikeouts to earn his third save of the season and lower his ERA to a sharp 2.25 on the year. The 35-year-old is a name to watch if Kimbrel were to ever miss time, but for now, he isn't worth rostering in save leagues until opportunities become more abundant.

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.
