Daniel Hudson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
