Updating a previous report, Hudson (knee/ankle) isn't scheduled to pitch in the Dodgers' Cactus League opener Saturday versus the Brewers, according to David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vassegh had previously reported that Hudson was scheduled to appear in relief behind starter Michael Grove, but instead, non-roster invitee Bryan Hudson is the Hudson in question who will work out of the bullpen. Daniel Hudson missed the final four months of the 2022 season after undergoing surgery in late June to address a torn ACL in his left knee, so the Dodgers may prefer to take a cautious approach with his usage this spring, especially after he dealt with right ankle tendinitis before reporting to camp. The Dodgers haven't suggested that Hudson is dramatically behind the team's other relief candidates, so the 35-year-old right-hander still seemingly has a good chance of securing a spot on the Opening Day roster. He should be in the mix for a high-leverage role after notching five saves and nine holds while delivering a 2.22 ERA and 30:5 K:BB across 24.1 innings in his injury-shortened 2022 campaign.

Hudson (knee/ankle) is expected to make an appearance in relief in Saturday's Cactus League opener versus the Brewers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before suffering an ACL tear of his left knee in late June and undergoing season-ending surgery, Hudson had settled into a key role in the late innings for the Dodgers, as he concluded the campaign with a 2.22 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB in 24.1 innings while bagging five saves and nine holds. The fact that he's already on track to appear in relief in the Dodgers' spring opener suggests that Hudson is well on his way to being included on the Opening Day roster, even though he experienced some tendinitis in his right ankle earlier in camp in addition to making his return from the ACL tear. Manager Dave Roberts has yet to name a closer for the start of the season and could take a committee approach to the ninth inning, but expect Hudson to be a factor in some capacity so long as he steers clear of any setbacks with his knee.

Hudson (knee/ankle) completed a bullpen session Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sportsreports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Vassegh after the session that he doesn't believe Hudson is far behind the other relievers currently in camp. The 35-year-old reliever is dealing with tendinitis in his right ankle, after missing the majority off the 2022 campaign because of a left ACL tear. If healthy, Hudson has a chance to see a good amount of save chances for the Dodgers during the 2023 season.

Hudson (knee/ankle) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday in Dodgers camp, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson missed the majority of the 2022 season due to a left ACL tear and then came into spring training with a bit of right ankle tendinitis, but the veteran reliever is optimistic that he will be ready for Opening Day. He could play a large role in the saves mix for Los Angeles if his health cooperates.

Hudson is recovering from his knee injury nicely, however he is now battling ankle discomfort, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson was kept out of action for most of last season after tearing his ACL in June. It remains uncertain whether or not the 35-year-old reliever will be ready to go once spring training games begin.

Hudson (knee) hopes to be ready for spring training and Opening Day next season, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson tore his ACL in late June, an injury which carries a lengthy recovery timeline. The veteran will avoid trying to push himself too much, and the Dodgers should be able to avoid rushing the 35-year-old given their typically strong depth, but it's still good to see that an Opening Day return remains a possibility. Hudson was having an excellent season at the time of the injury, cruising to a 2.22 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 24.1 innings while saving five games, which convinced the team to pick up his 2023 option.

Hudson (knee) had his $6.5 million team option for the 2023 season picked up by the Dodgers on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson was dominant for the Dodgers early in the season, converting five of six save chances while picking up nine holds with a 2.22 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 24.1 innings over 25 appearances. However, he sustained a torn ACL in late June and was unavailable for the second half in the year. The right-hander should factor into the team's late-relief plans once again in 2023 once he completes his recovery.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
