Hudson suffered a sprained MCL on his right knee during Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson closed out the Dodgers' win Wednesday and suffered the injury late in his outing. He returned from a torn ACL in his left knee June 30 and had turned in three scoreless outings since. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that surgery wasn't recommended at this time, but that Hudson will be out "quite some time."

Hudson allowed a hit and two walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Evan Phillips had pitched three straight days, so the save chance went to Hudson, who nearly made a mess of it. He loaded the bases with no outs, only to retire Henry Davis, Carlos Santana and Jack Suwinski in order to end the threat. Hudson has covered three innings and posted a 5:3 K:BB without allowing a run since returning from a torn ACL. The right-hander figures to be part of the Dodgers' high-leverage mix in the second half of the season, though he'll need to cut down on allowing baserunners.

Hudson allowed one hit and struck out two batters in a scoreless inning against Kansas City on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson made his big-league season debut after missing three months while recovering from last June's torn ACL. The right-hander didn't show any rust in his return, throwing 11 of 14 pitches for a strike, fanning two batters and allowing just an infield single. Hudson could see high-leverage work pretty quickly given his success (2.22 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 30:5 K:BB over 24.1 frames) with the team last season.

Hudson (knee) was activated off the 60-day injured list by the Dodgers on Friday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson will get a chance to make his season debut after missing the first three months of the season due to a torn ACL he suffered last June. The right-hander will likely be a high-leverage reliever for the Dodgers and could even see some save chances at some point, but he may be eased into that role over his first few appearances.

Hudson (knee) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Friday's contest against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson has struggled with multiple setbacks as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered last June, forcing him to remain on the sidelines for the whole 2023 campaign to this point, but he now appears ready to rejoin LA's bullpen. The right-hander produced a 2.22 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 30 strikeouts, nine holds and five saves over 24.1 innings in 25 appearances with the Dodgers in 2022 and will likely return to a high-leverage role once he's up to speed.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Friday that Hudson (knee) will head to the Dodgers' spring training complex in Arizona to throw an inning on Tuesday, and if it goes well he should be activated next weekend, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson has missed the entirety of the 2023 season, but he's been able to throw in back-to-back games for Triple-A Oklahoma City this week, and assuming no setbacks he'll be a key cog for the beleaguered Los Angeles bullpen over the second half of the season.

Hudson (knee) pitched for Triple-A Oklahoma City on both Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over two scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson has yet to pitch in the majors this season, but his ability to log game action on consecutive days is the latest sign that he's nearing a return. The veteran reliever has tallied seven total appearances in the minors since he began an extended rehab stint in early June, compiling seven scoreless frames during which he's posted a 10:1 K:BB. Hudson could make his 2023 big-league debut as soon as early next week, and he figures to move quickly into a high-leverage role for the Dodgers, who have the second-worst bullpen ERA in the majors this season at 4.88.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Hudson (knee) could be activated during the Dodgers' road trip in late June, which begins June 27 in Colorado and runs through July 2 in Kansas City, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson made five rehab outings in the Arizona Complex League before recently shifting his rehab assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he's likely to make a handful of appearances before rejoining the big club. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since he suffered a torn ACL last June, and he could move into a high-leverage role fairly quickly once activated.

Hudson (knee) will have his rehab assignment shifted to Triple-A Oklahoma City this week, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson pitched one inning apiece in three games at the Arizona Complex League and is now one step closer to a return. There's still no official timetable, though he'll need to be activated by the end of June or returned from his rehab assignment.
