6 months agoLos 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.

8 months agoLos 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.

Daniel Hudson recorded his eighth save in Monday's 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, allowing one hit in an 11-pitch ninth inning. Hudson's save was his first since July 22, having held two games while blowing his sixth save opportunity in between. He is 6-1 with a 1.76 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 46 innings over 47 games, striking out 48 and walking 10. Hudson continues to be the Dodgers' top option for save opportunities, and as long as he is, fantasy managers will have to make room for him.

Daniel Hudson recorded his seventh save in Monday's 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Hudson struck out two and walked one in his 19-pitch outing, his fourth straight appearance with a save. He is now (6-1) with a 1.52 ERA, a 0.80 WHIP over his 41 1/3 innings, and 13 holds. Hudson continues as the Dodgers' stopper over
Evan Phillips, who has blown his past two save opportunities while watching his ERA climb to 2.73. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to add Hudson if he is still available on waiver wires.
