The White Sox claimed Hudson off waivers from the Mets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson was designated for assignment Wednesday, and he'll return to the White Sox, with whom he spent the tail end of the 2025 campaign. The southpaw has no minor-league options remaining, so he'll claim a spot on the 26-man active roster. Hudson appeared in 16 MLB games last season between Chicago and Milwaukee, posting a 4.80 ERA and 19:13 K:BB across 15 innings.

The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets traded for Hudson at the start of camp, but he was knocked around for six runs with a 5:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings this spring. Hudson is coming off a rough 2025 campaign, but he was one of the Brewers' better relievers in 2024, so there could be interest in the big lefty on waivers.

Hudson may be the favorite to claim the final spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen, Tim Britton and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.

EDGE Analysis

Craig Kimbrel appears to be his biggest competitor for the job, with Austin Warren and Richard Lovelady also in the mix. Hudson struggled in 2025 between the Brewers and White Sox, in both the majors and at Triple-A, but the 28-year-old southpaw blamed some tinkering with his mechanics and pitch mix that went awry. "I was working on some delivery stuff and changing some things I really shouldn't change," Hudson said Monday. "So we're getting back to the basics this year to get back after it." In 2024 with Milwaukee, when his cutter was a bigger part of his arsenal, he posted a 1.73 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB over 62.1 innings.

The Mets acquired Hudson from the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson had been designated for assignment last week. The big left-hander spent much of 2025 in the minors and posted a 4.80 ERA and 19:13 K:BB over 15 frames during his time at the big-league level. However, he held a 1.73 ERA and 0.72 WHIP in 2024, so the Mets will try to coax that level of performance out of Hudson again.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Austin Hays, whose signing was made official Wednesday. Hudson was a key reliever for the Brewers in 2024, but he regressed in 2025, spending much of the year in the minors and collecting a 4.80 ERA and 19:13 K:BB over 15 frames during his time at the big-league level. The 6-foot-8 lefty doesn't have minor-league options remaining, but his 1.73 ERA and 0.72 WHIP from 2024 could be enough to get him scooped up via waivers.

The White Sox placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a lower-back strain.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson had been recalled earlier this week and made just one appearance before landing on the IL. He'll be eligible to return later this month, but any injury at this point has the potential to be a season-ender.

The White Sox recalled Hudson from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander was up with Chicago for a couple days in early August after being claimed off waivers and will now receive another look in the majors. Hudson has made 15 appearances between the Brewers and White Sox this year and has a 5.14 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 17:13 K:BB over 14 innings.

The White Sox optioned Hudson to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago will move Hudson and Wikelman Gonzalez off the roster and replace them with a pair of fresh bullpen arms in lefty Cam Booser and righty Elvis Peguero. After being claimed off waivers from the Brewers, Hudson made three appearances for Chicago and surrendered three earned runs on six hits and one walk over 3.2 innings.

The White Sox recalled Hudson from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson was claimed off waiver from the Brewers on Sunday and will join the big-league roster before making an appearance with Charlotte. The big lefty was a standout in the Milwaukee bullpen in 2024, but he has a 4.35 ERA and 13:12 K:BB over 10.1 innings in the majors and a 6.84 ERA at the Triple-A level in 2025.

The White Sox claimed Hudson off waivers from the Brewers and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander was designated for assignment by Milwaukee on Thursday but was quickly able to find a home on another organization's 40-man roster. Hudson was a key bullpen piece in 2024 with a 1.73 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB across 62.1 innings, but he had a 4.35 ERA in 12 big-league appearances and struggled to a 6.84 ERA at the Triple-A level so far in 2025.
