The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Hudson's stay with the Mets lasted only through the weekend while No. 2 catcher Luis Torrens (personal) was away from the team while on the paternity list. Torrens has since linked back up with the team and will be available Tuesday for the start of the two-game series against the Yankees, leaving no need for the Mets to carry Hudson as a third catcher.

The Mets selected Hudson's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday and optioned him to Syracuse.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets will be allowed a 27-man roster for their series in London this weekend against the Phillies, and Hudson would appear to be a good bet to join the big club as a third catcher. Hudson, who has posted an .808 OPS over 66 plate appearances with Syracuse this season, last appeared in the majors in 2020.

EDGE Analysis
Hudson last appeared in the big leagues in 2020 with the Mariners. The 32-year-old catcher spent the 2023 season at Triple-A Gwinnett in the Atlanta organization, posting a .767 OPS with nine homers. He'll provide catching depth at Triple-A Iowa.

Atlanta reassigned Hudson to minor-league camp Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson was signed to a minor-league deal with Atlanta with an invitation to spring training back in December. The 31-year-old backstop will likely split time in Gwinnett with Ryan Casteel, who was also reassigned by Atlanta on Monday to the minors.

Hudson signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Dec. 5.
EDGE Analysis
Hudson will provide organizational catching depth for an Atlanta club that features a new No. 1 catcher heading into 2023 in Sean Murphy, whom the club acquired in a three-team deal with the Athletics and Brewers earlier this week. Travis d'Arnaud is expected to begin the season as Murphy's top backup, so unless either of the two backstops are sidelined at any point during the upcoming season, Hudson is unlikely to surface in the majors. Hudson has spent the entirety of the past two seasons at the Triple-A level since seeing action in nine games with Seattle in 2020.
