Hudson worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday without striking out a batter to record his seventh save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Twins.
The southpaw has picked up the White Sox's last two saves, and his usage Saturday didn't seem matchup-based, as all three Minnesota batters due up in the ninth hit from the right side. Grant Taylor did throw 27 pitches over 2.2 innings Friday to pick up the win and may have been unavailable, but Hudson secured the save in that contest and still got the call Saturday. The duo seems likely to split closing duties the rest of the way. Over 13 appearances in August, Hudson has delivered a 3.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 9:0 K:BB in 12 innings with one win, three holds and three saves in three chances.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Secures sixth save of season
Rotowire
Hudson allowed two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Friday's 7-4 win over Minnesota.
Hudson entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead, and while he gave up two hits to the first three batters he faced, he ultimately closed the door to earn his sixth save of the season. The southpaw has gone 3-for-4 in save chances while recording four holds with a 14:1 K:BB in 15 innings and 16 outings since the All-Star break. Grant Taylor earned the win Friday after pitching 2.2 scoreless innings in relief, setting up the save for Hudson. Taylor's usage shows that he will not be confined exclusively to the ninth inning, so there may be additional save opportunities for Hudson down the stretch.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Slated to open Tuesday's contest
Rotowire
Hudson will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Hudson is no stranger to the opener role, as Tuesday will mark his seventh start of the 2026 campaign. He'll presumably be tasked with handling the first inning before turning the ball over to a bulk reliever. Erick Fedde, who recently lost his rotation spot, is a candidate to work as the primary pitcher since he'll be available on five days' rest.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Collects fifth save
Rotowire
Hudson struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his fifth save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Tigers.
Grant Taylor worked the eighth inning for the White Sox against the top of Detroit's order, leaving the ninth to Hudson, who got the job done on 13 pitches (nine strikes). It was Hudson's first save since July 22, but the southpaw has been prone to the occasional meltdown of late. Over 10.2 innings and 12 appearances since the All-Star break, he's produced two saves and three holds with a 6.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Gives up four runs, takes loss
Rotowire
Hudson (3-3) was tagged with the blown save and the loss Friday against the Astros after allowing four runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.
Hudson entered the game with the White Sox leading by four after Davis Martin allowed one run and loaded the bases in the sixth inning. However, Hudson gave up a bases-clearing double to Christian Walker and a two-run homer to Cam Smith, and he'd allow two more baserunners before exiting the game. This outing snapped an impressive streak from Hudson, who hadn't given up a run in his previous five appearances while posting a 3.68 ERA in 14.2 innings since the beginning of June before this game.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Nabs fourth save
Rotowire
Hudson struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.
Hudson earned his fourth save of the season and first since June 10 versus Atlanta. The White Sox weren't in a pinch with the bullpen after using just two relievers Tuesday and with an off day ahead, so it's at least interesting Hudson got the save chance. Grant Taylor worked a two-inning relief outing earlier in the game and Sean Newcomb didn't pitch. The White Sox's bullpen remains firmly in committee mode, making it tough for fantasy managers to target any one reliever for saves. Hudson has played his role well, pitching to a 2.08 ERA despite a 1.20 WHIP and 42:16 K:BB through 43.1 innings. He's added four saves in six chances this season, in addition to six holds.

Rotowire
Hudson will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.
The left-hander will be making his sixth start of the season but is expected to be capped at 1-to-2 innings before exiting the contest. Right-hander Erick Fedde is likely to work in bulk relief once Hudson leaves the game.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Picks up third save Wednesday
Rotowire
Hudson earned the save Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing a walk and no hits with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.
After Chicago leaned heavily on its bullpen Tuesday, Hudson was asked to handle the ninth inning Wednesday and protect a one-run lead. The left-hander worked around a one-out walk to Eli White and successfully closed out the victory for his third save of the season. The save comes on the heels of a rare rough patch, as Hudson had allowed multiple runs in back-to-back appearances after holding opponents scoreless in 26 of his previous 27 outings. Despite those recent hiccups, he still owns a strong 2.32 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB across 31 innings and should continue to operate as a setup man for Chicago.
White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Earns win in relief Friday
Rotowire
Hudson (3-1) earned the win in relief in Friday's extra-inning win over the Tigers. He allowed an unearned run and struck out one over one inning of work.
Hudson pitched the 10th inning and saw the Tigers grab the lead when Matt Vierling scored on a sac fly from Rikuu Nishida. However, Hudson earned the win after the White Sox stormed back with a walk-off homer from Miguel Vargas in the bottom of the frame. Hudson has gone six straight outings without allowing an earned run, and he's given up just three runs (two earned) across 13.1 innings this month, a span in which he has a 1.35 ERA with an outstanding 0.90 WHIP.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Slated to open Saturday's contest
Rotowire
Hudson will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Giants, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
The White Sox haven't officially named a bulk reliever for Saturday's contest, but Erick Fedde had been on turn to start and is the most likely option to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen once Hudson exits the game. Hudson previously served as an opener on April 24 and April 26 versus the Nationals, covering an inning apiece in both of those contests. Expect the lefty to be limited to a one-inning appearance once again Saturday.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Records second save Tuesday
Rotowire
Hudson earned the save Tuesday against the Royals, retiring the side in order in the ninth inning.
With Seranthony Dominguez working the eighth inning Tuesday, Hudson got the call in the ninth inning and protected a one-run lead by retiring the heart of Kansas City's lineup in order. The save was his second of the season as he continues an outstanding run out of Chicago's bullpen. Hudson has now tossed 17.2 consecutive scoreless innings while posting a 19:6 K:BB during that stretch. On the season, the veteran right-hander owns a stellar 0.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across 20 innings.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Notches save Monday
Rotowire
Hudson earned a save against the Angels on Monday by retiring the only batter he faced.
Chicago trailed for most of the game before making a late comeback. With a three-run lead heading into the ninth inning, manager Will Venable didn't summon regular closer Seranthony Dominguez, who pitched three of the previous four days. Instead, Venable went with Grant Taylor, who was the victim of an inning-opening error behind him and who then gave up a pair of runs while retiring just two batters. With runners on second and third, two outs and Chicago hanging onto a one-run lead, Hudson was called upon to escape the jam, and he was able to do so by retiring Adam Frazier on a groundout. Hudson has had a good season with a 1.38 ERA and 16:8 K:BB through 13 innings, but Dominguez should get the bulk of the team's save opportunities moving forward.

White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Claimed by ChiSox
Rotowire
The White Sox claimed Hudson off waivers from the Mets on Friday.
Hudson was designated for assignment Wednesday, and he'll return to the White Sox, with whom he spent the tail end of the 2025 campaign. The southpaw has no minor-league options remaining, so he'll claim a spot on the 26-man active roster. Hudson appeared in 16 MLB games last season between Chicago and Milwaukee, posting a 4.80 ERA and 19:13 K:BB across 15 innings.

Mets' Bryan Hudson: Booted off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Wednesday.
The Mets traded for Hudson at the start of camp, but he was knocked around for six runs with a 5:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings this spring. Hudson is coming off a rough 2025 campaign, but he was one of the Brewers' better relievers in 2024, so there could be interest in the big lefty on waivers.

Mets' Bryan Hudson: Could claim final bullpen spot
Rotowire
Hudson may be the favorite to claim the final spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen, Tim Britton and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
Craig Kimbrel appears to be his biggest competitor for the job, with Austin Warren and Richard Lovelady also in the mix. Hudson struggled in 2025 between the Brewers and White Sox, in both the majors and at Triple-A, but the 28-year-old southpaw blamed some tinkering with his mechanics and pitch mix that went awry. "I was working on some delivery stuff and changing 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." In 2024 with Milwaukee, when his cutter was a bigger part of his arsenal, he posted a 1.73 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB over 62.1 innings.
