Dakota Hudson

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.

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.

Dakota Hudson was hit hard, allowing six earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over just 3.1 innings in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling trend for Hudson, whose season ERA ballooned to 6.57 and WHIP worsened to 1.78. With a low strikeout rate of 5.8 K/9 and a high FIP of 5.25, his ability to contribute positively in fantasy formats is becoming increasingly doubtful. Fantasy managers should consider other options, as Hudson's high ERA and WHIP are damaging to any team's pitching stats.
