Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Gives up Game 4 grand slam
Daniel Hudson allowed a pivotal grand slam to Anthony Volpe to take the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday in Game 4 of the World Series.After Ben Casparius gave the Los Angeles Dodgers two innings of one-run ball, manager Dave Roberts wanted to avoid having him go through the top of the Yankees' order again and turned to Hudson, who didn't have it Tuesday. After Hudson's inning, the Dodgers avoided using their remaining primary relievers in order to have them all be available for Wednesday's Game 5.

Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Falters in eighth frame Thursday
Daniel Hudson (6-2) blew a save and took the loss against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.Los Angeles carried a one-run lead into the eighth inning, and manager Dave Roberts turned to Hudson -- who had six saves over his previous 12 outings entering Thursday -- to face the heart of Milwaukee's order. The strategy didn't pay off, as Hudson was tagged for three runs on a double, two singles and a walk. Though the righty reliever has been excellent overall this season, he's given up at least one earned run in three of his past four appearances. Despite his deployment in the eighth frame Thursday, Hudson is likely to still see some save chances moving forward; however, Roberts has gone with more of a committee approach in recent weeks, so Hudson may not get the same volume of save opportunities as the league's more locked-in closers.

Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Records eighth save
Daniel Hudson earned a save against the Phillies on Monday, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.Manager Dave Roberts went to Hudson with the Los Angeles Dodgers up two runs entering the ninth inning, and the righty reliever came through with an 11-pitch scoreless frame. The save was Hudson's first since July 22, with three other Dodgers relievers notching a save since that date. It's apparent that Evan Phillips is no longer going to get the bulk of Los Angeles' save opportunities for the time being, and Hudson seems to be the most likely Dodgers pitcher to be called upon in his stead, but it's quite possible that Roberts continues to spread ninth-inning opportunities among a number of relievers in what has been one of the majors' top bullpens.

Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Deployed in sixth inning Thursday
Daniel Hudson earned a hold against the Giants on Thursday, walking one batter and striking out two in a scoreless sixth inning.Hudson had earned a save in each of his previous four outings coming into Thursday, but Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts decided to bring him in with Los Angeles up 4-2 in the sixth frame. The veteran reliever issued a two-out walk but kept the team's lead intact with a scoreless inning. Meanwhile, Evan Phillips -- who has been Los Angeles' primary closer for most of the campaign -- worked the seventh inning Thursday, while recent signee Brent Honeywell got the ninth and notched a save. Hudson is the most likely reliever on the team to be called upon for save chances, but it's clear that Roberts isn't tied to any individual closer and won't hesitate to use his top high-leverage options in situations outside of the ninth inning.

The veteran right-hander is up to seven saves along with 13 holds this year, and he's pitched to a 1.52 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB through 41.1 innings overall.

Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Secures second save of weekend
Daniel Hudson did not walk or strike out a batter during a two-out save in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Red Sox.Evan Phillips was initially called upon to begin the ninth inning with the Los Angeles Dodgers leading 9-3, but he only recorded one out and surrendered two runs before getting the hook. Hudson came in to replace him with the bases loaded and got Masataka Yoshida to ground into a fielder's choice before sealing the game with a fly out. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters following Saturday's win that he was a "long ways" from removing Phillips from the closer role and that he would give Phillips "as much runway as he wants" to regain his form, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. However, after Phillips' latest blunder Sunday, it's entirely possible that the Dodgers adopt a committee approach to the ninth inning for the time being. The team could also add another high-leverage bullpen arm at the trade deadline. Hudson has converted three straight save opportunities and sits at six total for the year. He has a 1.56 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 43:7 K:BB in 40.1 innings.
