| Edwin Diaz is expected to start a throwing program on Tuesday or Wednesday as he recovers from an elbow injury. Diego Sandoval Mon, May 25th | Bryan Hudson will serve as the opener on Friday against the Nationals. Ari Koslow Thu, Apr 23rd | |
| The Dodgers transferred Edwin Diaz to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Sun, May 10th | The Chicago White Sox have activated left-handed pitcher Bryan Hudson. Ari Koslow Sat, Mar 28th | |
| Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz is slated to undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow and is expected to miss close to three months. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 20th | The White Sox claimed LHP Bryan Hudson off waivers from the Mets. Ari Koslow Fri, Mar 27th | |
| The Dodgers placed Edwin Diaz on the 15-day injured list with right elbow loose bodies. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 20th | The Mets designated LHP Bryan Hudson for assignment. Ari Koslow Wed, Mar 25th | |
| Edwin Diaz allowed three runs on four hits while striking out two and was charged with a blown save, but got the win in Friday's win over the Rangers. Chase Davis Sat, Apr 11th | 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 | ||
| Edwin Díaz reaffirmed his elite closer status in 2025, posting a dominant 1.63 ERA with a .502 OPS allowed and strong underlying indicators, including a sub-0.90 WHIP and elite run-prevention metrics. While his strikeout rate (38.0%) was slightly below his 2022 peak, it remained well above league average and was paired with improved home-run suppression and stable command. The 2026 projections reflect continued ninth-inning dominance with high save volume and strong ratios, supported by his consistent bat-missing profile and ability to limit hard contact. As long as health cooperates and the Dodgers don't get too cute with their bullpen, Díaz remains a top-tier fantasy closer with realistic upside to finish among the league leaders in saves again.
