Dakota Hudson allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a slightly better performance than his season averages, Hudson's outing was yet another chapter in his disappointing season. With a ballooning ERA of 5.93 and a WHIP of 1.68 through six starts, his fantasy relevance continues to wane. The lack of strikeouts (5.3 K/9) combined with a poor strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.06) makes him a risky play in all formats. Fantasy managers should consider other options unless Hudson shows significant improvement in his control and ability to miss bats.

Dakota Hudson was hit hard, allowing six earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over just 3.1 innings in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling trend for Hudson, whose season ERA ballooned to 6.57 and WHIP worsened to 1.78. With a low strikeout rate of 5.8 K/9 and a high FIP of 5.25, his ability to contribute positively in fantasy formats is becoming increasingly doubtful. Fantasy managers should consider other options, as Hudson's high ERA and WHIP are damaging to any team's pitching stats.

Dakota Hudson struggled mightily in Saturday's 7-0 loss to the Mariners, surrendering four earned runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out only one over four innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing further inflates his already bloated ERA to 5.06 and WHIP to 1.59 for the season, continuing a trend of underwhelming performances. With a strikeout-to-walk ratio now languishing at 1.09 and a K/9 of just 5.1, Hudson's ability to contribute positively in fantasy formats is becoming increasingly dubious. His high WHIP and ERA are red flags for any fantasy manager looking for reliable starting pitching options, and is best left off rosters in all formats moving forward.

Despite a decent outing where Dakota Hudson pitched six innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts against the Rays, his efforts were not enough to secure a win for the Colorado Rockies, who fell short with a 3-2 loss.

Fantasy Impact

This performance slightly elevated his ERA to 2.38 and his WHIP to 1.24 for the season, indicating a solid start to the year despite a lack of support to notch a win. His strikeout rate remains a concern for fantasy managers, standing at a modest 4.8 K/9, which limits his upside in categories or leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. However, his ability to maintain a decent ERA and WHIP could make him a viable option in deeper leagues or as a streaming candidate in favorable matchups. The lack of wins is frustrating, but Hudson's underlying metrics, such as a 2.99 FIP and a reasonable .290 BABIP, suggest he could see better days ahead if he continues to pitch at this level and gets more support from his team. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his strikeout numbers and team context to gauge his value moving forward.

Dakota Hudson allowed four hits, two walks, and three unearned runs in 5 1/3 innings pitched Monday. He tallied two strikeouts and tallied the loss against the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Hudson’s afternoon was impacted by the two errors on Nolan Jones that contributed to the three unearned runs. Hudson will look to bounce back in his next outing.
