MLB Player News

Hudson (knee) was diagnosed with a torn ACL and placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The veteran right-hander suffered the injury during Friday's win over Atlanta, and he'll miss the rest of the season after the diagnosis of a torn ACL was confirmed. Hudson finishes 2022 with a 2.22 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB across 24.1 innings, and it's unclear if he'll be healthy for spring training should he opt to return for a 14th MLB season.

White was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Saturday's start against Atlanta.

The 27-year-old is stepping in as Saturday's starter after Andrew Heaney (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. White should have the chance to remain in the Dodgers' rotation during Heaney's absence after he posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 25.2 innings over nine appearances (four starts) in the majors earlier this season.

Holderman (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Holderman has been out the past couple weeks with a right shoulder impingement, so he shouldn't require a lengthy rehab stint in the minors. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games in his first taste of the big leagues this year and has a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings.

Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Strzelecki was called up from Nashville on June 11, and he allowed three runs in seven innings over four appearances during his stint with the major-league club. However, he'll head back to the minors as part of a move after Trevor Gott (groin) and Jandel Gustave (hamstring) were reinstated from the injured list Saturday.

Gott (groin) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Gott was on the injured list since early June, but he began a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin this week and allowed three runs in two innings. The right-hander worked his way into some setup duties prior to his absence, as he picked up seven holds while posting a 3.86 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 21 innings over 22 appearances to begin the year.

Graterol earned a hold against Atlanta on Friday, allowing one hit and no runs over two-thirds of an inning.

Daniel Hudson was called upon in the eighth inning as the bridge to closer Craig Kimbrel, but Hudson exited after one out due to a potentially serious ACL injury. Graterol was then summoned to finish the frame, and he threw all seven of his pitches for strikes and induced an inning-ending double play after giving up a Dansby Swanson single. The Dodgers fear that Hudson's injury could be season-ending, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, which could result in Graterol taking his place as the team's primary high-leverage option before Kimbrel, at least until Blake Treinen (shoulder) returns. Graterol has pitched well of late, putting together 7.1 consecutive scoreless innings over seven outings, during which he has posted a 6:0 K:BB and picked up one win along with two holds.

Kimbrel gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 13th save of the season in a 4-1 win over Atlanta.

The veteran closer hasn't been consistent lately, but he looked good against the club he broke into the majors with and for whom he posted one of most dominant runs ever by a reliever in the early 2010s. Kimbrel has only blown one save this season for the Dodgers despite a disappointing 4.30 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB through 23 innings.

Cabrera was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Saturday.

The Cardinals didn't provide an injury designation for Cabrera's placement on the injured list, signaling that the southpaw is likely on the COVID-19 IL. If that's the case, he'll be eligible to return as soon as he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols, but his recovery timetable will depend on whether he's tested positive for the virus. Jake Woodford was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, while Zack Thompson should see increased looks in high-leverage situations while Cabrera is sidelined.

Diaz gave up two hits in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 15th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Marlins.

Both hits were singles, and one of the baserunners was erased when Tomas Nido caught Jon Berti stealing -- the first time the Miami speedster has been denied a steal since April 28. Diaz hasn't blown a save in a month, and he sports a dominant 1.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB through eight innings in June.

Brogdon (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list after Friday's loss to the Padres, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Brogdon didn't appear in Friday's contest and will now step away from the team until he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's not clear if the 27-year-old tested positive for the virus, so there's no indication of how long he'll be sidelined.
