Eligibility
Dakota Hudson turned in a stellar performance on Friday, allowing just one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings in the Rockies' 4-1 win against the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given Hudson's rocky season thus far, marked by a 5.02 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP over his first 11 starts. His ability to limit the Dodgers to minimal baserunners and only one run could signal a turning point, but his season-long metrics, including a low 4.9 K/9 and a high 4.98 FIP, suggest that caution should still be exercised. While this performance might tempt some to consider Hudson for a spot start, his overall inconsistency this season makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.
Dakota Hudson delivered a mediocre performance, allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over six innings in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a somewhat stable outing, Hudson's season continues to be a struggle, marked by a high 5.54 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 10 starts. His low strikeout rate of 5.0 K/9 and poor 1.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio further dampen his fantasy appeal. Given these ongoing issues, Hudson remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize for earned runs and WHIP.
Dakota Hudson allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits over 4 2/3 innings on Sunday against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Hudson added three strikeouts and two walks in the loss. He ran into trouble in the fifth inning where he allowed all three runs following four scoreless frames. He is scheduled to face the Phillies next.
Dakota Hudson earned his first win of the season, allowing three earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings in Monday's 5-4 victory over the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the win, Hudson's performance was hardly a turnaround, as his season-long struggles continued with a ballooning 6.13 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP. His low strikeout rate of 5.2 K/9 and poor strikeout-to-walk ratio of 0.92 remain concerning for fantasy managers. Given these metrics, Hudson's fantasy value is limited, and he should be considered a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues or those specifically counting wins.
Dakota Hudson allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a slightly better performance than his season averages, Hudson's outing was yet another chapter in his disappointing season. With a ballooning ERA of 5.93 and a WHIP of 1.68 through six starts, his fantasy relevance continues to wane. The lack of strikeouts (5.3 K/9) combined with a poor strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.06) makes him a risky play in all formats. Fantasy managers should consider other options unless Hudson shows significant improvement in his control and ability to miss bats.
