Dodgers Injured Reliever Believes He Can Help the Team Win a World Series This Season

The 36-year-old has enjoyed varying success at the Major League level. He helped the Nationals win a World Series back in 2019. Most recently, he's been a key cog in the Dodgers' bullpen. 

There should be an asterisk* next to that statement due to the fact Hudson has dealt with a plethora of injuries. 

When healthy, he's nearly unhittable. He pairs an upper-90s fastball with a wipeout slider. With that said Hudson has been sidelined with injuries to both knees.

Now fully healthy, Hudson is vying for a spot on the roster among a host of other arms. In an article penned by Cary Osborne, Hudson spoke about his time with the Dodgers: 

"I felt like this organization has really taken good care of me and my family the last couple of years and they didn’t have to. I feel like I kind of owe it to them to try to hold my side of the bargain because I feel like I kind of let some people down here in the last couple years, even though it obviously hasn’t been my fault. (Now), I’m just trying to help us win a World Series."

Hudson feels as if he's still good enough to be a member of a loaded bullpen that features Evan Phillips, Brusdar Graterol, Joe Kelly, Ryan Brasier, and Blake Treinen (among others).
