Shifts to 60-day IL Hudson (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hudson was already ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL last week, so it was only a matter of time before he moved to the 60-day IL. Ian Gibaut was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

Dodgers lose top set-up reliever Daniel Hudson for season

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Daniel Hudson was placed on the injury list Saturday with a season-ending torn left ACL.

JUNE 26, 2022

Moves to injured list Hudson (knee) was diagnosed with a torn ACL and placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander suffered the injury during Friday's win over Atlanta, and he'll miss the rest of the season after the diagnosis of a torn ACL was confirmed. Hudson finishes 2022 with a 2.22 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB across 24.1 innings, and it's unclear if he'll be healthy for spring training should he opt to return for a 14th MLB season.

Dodgers News: Veteran LA Reliever Suffers ACL Injury Daniel Hudson suffered a knee injury on Friday night that will sideline him for the rest of the season.

Suffers ACL injury Hudson (knee) suffered an ACL injury during Friday's win over Atlanta, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact A full diagnosis won't be available until the right-hander is further evaluated, but the team fears it's a torn ACL and manager Dave Roberts said, "I don't see how it's not the end of [his] season." Hudson has been a key bullpen piece for the Dodgers this year with five saves and nine holds to go along with a 2.22 ERA and 30:5 K:BB, but it appears he'll now be sidelined for the rest of the campaign.

Leaves with injury Hudson was removed from Friday's game against Atlanta with an apparent left knee injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hudson had his leg buckle 11 pitches into Friday's appearance when trying to field a groundball and was helped off the field by the training staff. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the veteran right-hander figures to be unavailable for at least a day or two regardless of the diagnosis.

Records eighth hold Hudson earned a hold against the Angels on Tuesday, striking out two batters over one perfect inning.

Impact Hudson pitched the top of the eighth frame with the Dodgers ahead 1-0 and set aside the Angels on 10 pitches (nine strikes). The right-hander has struck out exactly two batters in each of his past six outings, posting a 12:1 K:BB across 6.1 innings over that span. He's held the opposition scoreless in nine of his past 10 appearances.

Grabs fifth save Hudson earned a save after he pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit while striking out two in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact With Craig Kimbrel (personal) on the paternity list, Hudson was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the bottom of the ninth. He worked around a two-out single by Yasmani Grandal, getting Jake Burger to strike out to end the game and earn his fifth save of the season. Hudson has been very effective this season while operating as the primary set-up man to Kimbrel, producing a 1.86 ERA and 0.78 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over 19.1 innings while also recording seven holds and five saves, all over 19 appearances.

Mookie Betts is back, but several other Dodgers stars have struggled, most notably ace Walker Buehler, Pedro Moura writes.

JUNE 7, 2022

Notches fourth save Hudson saved Friday's 6-1 win against the Mets, allowing one hit with two strikeouts in 1.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Hudson entered a four-run game with two out and two on in the eighth inning and induced a Francisco Lindor groundout to neutralize the threat. Manager Dave Roberts opted to stay with the 35-year-old for the ninth, keeping the veteran righty in line for the save despite the Dodger win being by more than three runs. Hudson has now recorded saves in two of his last three appearances and has thrown 8.2 scoreless innings since consecutive losses on May 11 and 12.

Could see save chance Wednesday Hudson is likely to serve as the Dodgers' fill-in closer for any potential save situation Wednesday versus Pittsburgh since Craig Kimbrel is unavailable while addressing his mechan...

Impact Hudson picked up a save during his previous appearance Saturday against the Diamondbacks, and he'll likely be called upon Wednesday should another opportunity arise. The right-hander has three saves and six holds along with a 2.25 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB across 16 innings this season. Kimbrel is expected to be available again Thursday, so it'll be a brief window as the fill-in closer for Hudson.

Notches third save Hudson picked up a save against the Diamondbacks on Saturday, pitching a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed one hit and struck out two.

Impact Hudson found himself in immediate trouble when Ketel Marte led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a double, but the veteran reliever escaped with the save by following with a groundout and two strikeouts. Hudson was granted the save opportunity because regular closer Craig Kimbrel threw 26 pitches Friday and realized that his body "just didn't feel good" Saturday, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Kimbrel is expected to be available Sunday, but with three saves in three opportunities on the campaign, Hudson has shown that he can be an effective option when Kimbrel is unavailable.

Falters again Thursday Hudson (1-3) took the loss against Philadelphia on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning.

Impact The Dodgers stormed back from a 7-3 deficit by scoring four runs in the eighth inning, and they handed the ball to Hudson with hopes that he could keep the score tied in the top of the ninth. However, the veteran reliever was touched for a pair of runs that resulted in his second loss in as many days. There was some bad luck involved for the right-hander -- the first two batters who reached base didn't get the ball out of the infield -- but Hudson also hurt himself with a bases-loaded wild pitch. Despite the hiccup, Hudson has been one of the Dodgers' best bullpen arms on the season, compiling a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 13:3 K:BB and five holds over 10.2 innings.

Takes loss Wednesday Hudson (1-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against Pittsburgh as a result of allowing one run on three hits over one inning. He struck out one batter.

Impact After the Dodgers scored three runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game, they turned to the usually reliable Hudson in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander was unable to keep the score knotted, as he served up a one-out solo home run to Daniel Vogelbach. The Pirates' following two batters reached base as well, but Hudson was able to induce an inning-ending double play on a lineout to escape further damage. This was only the second time in Hudson's 10 outings that he has been tagged with a run. He carries a 1.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB across 9.2 innings on the season.

Notches first save Hudson saved Saturday's 5-2 win against Cincinnati, recording one strikeout in two-thirds innings pitched.

Impact Los Angeles held a 5-0 lead entering the ninth inning, but the bullpen surrendered two runs before Hudson was brought in to shut the door on the victory. The 35-year-old got the opportunity in a low-leverage situation and with Craig Kimbrel having pitched the previous night, though he would stand to gain significant traction if Kimbrel were to falter.
