Dodgers Select Bryan Hudson

By Nick Deeds | June 17, 2023 at 4:32pm CDT

Ahead of tonight’s game against the Giants, the Dodgers have selected the contract of left-hander Bryan Hudson. In a corresponding move, right-hander Tayler Scott was designated for assignment, per a team announcement.

Hudson, 26, was a third round pick by the Cubs in the 2015 draft. Used as a starter early in his professional career, Hudson struggled badly, posting a 4.51 ERA in 325 1/3 innings of work spread across the Low-A, Single-A, and High-A levels from 2016-19. After not pitching in 2020 due to the cancelled minor league season, Hudson returned in 2021 having converted to the bullpen, and saw his results improve. The lefty posted a 3.13 ERA in 54 2/3 innings of work at the Double-A level in 2021 with a 23.3% strikeout rate and a phenomenal 65% groundball rate, though his 10% walk rate left something to be desired. In 2022, Hudson posted similar numbers, with a 3.66 ERA in 59 innings split between the Double-A and Triple-A levels.

After the 2022 campaign, Hudson departed the Cubs organization through minor league free agency before signing a minor league deal with the Dodgers in December. Since signing on in LA, Hudson has pitched to a sterling 2.17 ERA in 29 innings at Triple-A. While his groundball rate has plummeted to just 27.8%, Hudson is striking out batters at an absurd 41.1% clip, leaving plenty of reason for optimism that the southpaw could help bolster a Dodgers bullpen that sports an NL-worst 4.90 ERA.

Making room for Hudson is Scott, who allowed six runs on six hits, a hit batsman, six walks, and eight strikeouts over six appearances during his time in Dodger blue. Prior to Scott’s call-up, the righty had posted impressive marks of his own at Triple-A, including a 1.37 ERA in 19 2/3 innings of work. The Dodgers now figure to attempt to trade Scott or pass him through waivers. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, LA can assign him outright to the minors, though Scott has been outrighted previously in his career, meaning he could reject that assignment and elect free agency if he so chose.

    Dodgers have their worst bullpen since they moved to LA. It’s not sustainable to have to make a roster move after every dang game

      Watching that no hitter for six innings last night followed by the 7-run bullpen implosion afterward was mighty painful. I wish they could send the whole pen down for a week or so, and just bring up whoever in the mean time. Can’t get any worse results.

      Getting a couple of the 12 pitchers currently on IL back should help

        Dumpster diving is catching up. You pay relievers for sustained success. Not the 1-2 year superstar (See Almonte 22 vs career).

    Mercy its been a painful ride this year in the pen

    I was 100% wrong on this offence earlier this year not being elite, i’ll take the deserved egg on the head now

    I advised being patient with this pen 5 weeks ago, go ahead and add another egg

    Saying all that we gotta be pretty happy sitting only 3 back today. Clean up the pen, add a starter we should be there in Sept battling for another Division title all while getting some beautiful reps/exp from the young lads

      That would go a long way to solving the current pen problems. If I had to add a name to the list in terms of SP, I’d go with Shane Bieber if he’s available. Otherwise it’s gotta be Giolito. No SP on KC’s roster is worthwhile, and COL won’t trade any SP under any circumstances. Jordan Montgomery wouldn’t be a bad addition.

        I wonder what a theoretical Monty DeJong Hicks trade looks like-

        All expiring contracts so if Dodgers strike quickly perhaps they could nab that package for a prospect (8~12 range) another (20~25) range , and a couple fliers

        They (Stl) could piece meal them later but I don’t think they’d get as good as a headliner back as that Dodger (8~12 prospect would provide

      That would be a massive package deal if they could somehow get both. should’ve signed Chapman in the offseason
