Bryan

Hudson

Some interesting bullpen usage for the White Sox today, as Grant Taylor came in during the sixth with a 2-1 and escaped a jam for Anthony Kay. He then worked a scoreless seventh. It was a 4-1 game when Domínguez entered, but it doesn’t seem likely that he would have been asked for a two-inning save after working a scoreless ninth in a tie game Friday. Perhaps Bryan Hudson would have been in line for a save, but it proved moot after the White Sox made it a 7-1 game in line for the ninth. Trevor Richards finished up at that point. Hudson could still get a save Sunday, since we assume both Domínguez and Taylor will be unavailable.

The White Sox decided to use Seranthony Domínguez in the eighth in a tie game tonight. After they took a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the eighth, Hudson faced Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez in the ninth and retired them all, but things might have gone somewhat differently if Derek Hill hadn’t made a sliding catch on Witt’s liner to right to start the inning. Hudson, who has pitched in 21 of the White Sox’s 41 games, has a 0.90 ERA and a 22/9 K/BB in 20 innings. It’ll be interesting to see if that workload starts to catch up to him at some point.

Colson Montgomery made an error to start the ninth in an 8-5 game, and Taylor went on to give up three hits before the White Sox lifted him with two outs. Bryan Hudson came in at that point and retired Adam Frazier for his first save. Taylor had the chance to close tonight because Seranthony Domínguez had pitched three of the previous four days. It would have been his first save, but he settled for his second hold instead.

He’s back. Hudson finished the 2025 season with four appearances for the White Sox in which he allowed three runs in 4.2 IP. The left-hander has a career 2.83 ERA on the back of his magnificent 2024 season. The White Sox will try to coax another year like that out of him in 2026.

Hudson was acquired from the White Sox for cash back in February, but he did not make the opening day bullpen. Instead, Richard Lovelady will take his spot as a left-hander reliever.

With AJ Minter (lat) expected to open the season on the injured list, the Mets wanted to add second capable left-hander to their bullpen mix to work alongside Brooks Raley. Hudson will get the chance to compete for that job with Joe Jacques and Anderson Severino during spring training.

The White Sox designated Hudson for assignment over the weekend and the Mets took advantage by making them a cash offer for the 28-year-old southpaw. Hudson has proven to be a viable bullpen arm over the past couple of seasons and should add quality depth to the Mets’ bullpen mix.

Hudson lost his spot on Chicago’s 40-man roster after the club finalized a one-year pact with veteran outfielder Austin Hays earlier this week. The 28-year-old lefty posted a serviceable 4.80 ERA — 4.65 xERA — and 19/13 K/BB ratio across 15 innings between the White Sox and Brewers last season. There should be some interest on waivers given his success two years ago as a key component of Milwaukee’s relief mix.

Hudson was only called up Tuesday, but he must have gotten hurt while throwing a scoreless inning that night. He has a 4.80 ERA in 16 appearances for the Brewers and White Sox this season.

It’ll be Hudson’s second stint with the White Sox after he allowed three runs in 3 2/3 innings in three appearances last month. Including his time with the Brewers, he has a 5.14 ERA and a 17/13 K/BB in 14 innings this season.
