	Cade Smith struck out two batters while allowing one earned run on two hits over one inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals Matthew Adam Thu, May 28th	Bryan Hudson will serve as the opener on Friday against the Nationals. Ari Koslow Thu, Apr 23rd
	Cade Smith earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Phillies. Matthew Adam Mon, May 25th	The Chicago White Sox have activated left-handed pitcher Bryan Hudson. Ari Koslow Sat, Mar 28th
	Cade Smith struck out one batter in a scoreless appearance to earn the save in Friday's 1-0 win over the Phillies. Matthew Adam Sat, May 23rd	The White Sox claimed LHP Bryan Hudson off waivers from the Mets. Ari Koslow Fri, Mar 27th

	Cade Smith struck out three batters while allowing two hits and no walks in a scoreless appearance to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Tigers. Matthew Adam Wed, May 20th	Hudson posted a 1.73 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB across 62.1 innings with Milwaukee in 2024 with his cutter as a prominent part of his arsenal, but he struggled in 2025 with both the Brewers and White Sox at the major and Triple-A levels. He attributed the drop-off to mechanical and pitch-mix changes that didn't work out. "I was working on some delivery stuff and chasing some things I really shouldn't change," Hudson said Monday. "So we're getting back to the basics this year to get back after it." Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 17th
Notes
	Cade Smith has quickly emerged as one of baseball's most dominant late-inning arms. His bat-missing ability has remained consistent across both seasons, posting a 35.1% strikeout rate over his first 149 MLB innings with excellent control (6.1% BB%). While his ERA rose to 2.93 in 2025 as his fly-ball rate and HR% ticked up slightly, the underlying profile still supports high-end relief production. The 2026 projections forecast roughly 30 saves, 91 strikeouts, and a 3.05 ERA across 71 innings as Cleveland's primary closer in the top tier of relievers. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	I know Mason Miller is THE relief pitcher household name these days, but Cade Smith could be joining that conversation after this year. In his only two seasons in the big leagues, Smith has posted 12+ K/9s and sub 2 FIPs in each season, making him as reliable and excellent as any reliever in the game.
