Hudson is not on the Brewers' roster for the National League Wild Card Series against the Mets, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hudson was one of the Brewers' best relievers this season, collecting a 1.73 ERA and 62:17 K:BB over 62.1 innings, but he was sent down to Triple-A Nashville in early September after his velocity dipped. The lefty allowed one run with a 10:0 K:BB across 5.2 frames at Nashville, but the team evidently still wasn't convinced he was ready to help during the first round of the playoffs.

Brewers' Bryan Hudson: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Hudson to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The move looks odd on the surface, as Hudson boasts a 1.73 ERA and 62:17 K:BB over 62.1 innings this season and had turned in four straight scoreless appearances. However, his velocity has been trending in the wrong direction and the Brewers want to see him get that ticked back up in a less pressurized environment.

Brewers' Bryan Hudson: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Brewers activated Hudson (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Hudson wound up missing just a couple weeks of action with a strained left oblique. The left-handed reliever has been quite a find in the Brewers bullpen this season with a 1.60 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 50.2 innings. He'll return to a high-leverage role now that he's healthy again.

Rotowire
Hudson (oblique) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hudson was placed on the 15-day injured list July 27 with a left oblique strain, though it appears the 27-year-old southpaw may only require a minimum stint on the IL.

Brewers' Bryan Hudson: Brings it once again
Rotowire
Hudson threw two scoreless innings of relief and picked up his 11th hold of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Angels. He allowed a hit, struck out a batter and walked none.
Hudson allowed two earned runs in his final appearance of May, but he gave up only two all season prior to that, and he has not allowed any runs through eight frames in June. Add it all up and Hudson now owns a minuscule 0.90 ERA along with a 0.65 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB over 40 innings out of Milwaukee's bullpen.

Hudson entered the seventh after Brewers starter Robert Gasser allowed consecutive singles to Seiya Suzuki and Cody Bellinger to begin the inning. The lefty reliever worked himself out of the jam, fanning two batters and inducing one popup. Hudson has been a stalwart in the Milwaukee bullpen, becoming manager Pat Murphy's most dependable southpaw, firing a 0.59 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 30.1 innings this season.

Brewers' Bryan Hudson: Shines in Brewers debut
Rotowire
Hudson tossed three scoreless innings of relief and picked up his first hold of the season in Sunday's victory over the Mets. He allowed two hits and posted a 4:0 K:BB in the outing.
Hudson entered the game in the bottom of the sixth inning with the Brewers holding a 4-1 lead, and he ensured no other relievers were needed until Joel Payamps came in to close out the contest. Hudson recorded more than three outs three times with the Dodgers last season and several more times in the minors, so he could fill a versatile role out of Milwaukee's bullpen.

Brewers' Bryan Hudson: Claims Opening Day bullpen spot
Rotowire
The Brewers informed Hudson on Monday that he'll be included on the Opening Day roster, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hudson has two minor-league options remaining, but he did enough in spring training to solidify his spot in the Brewers' Opening Day bullpen. After being acquired from the Dodgers in January, Hudson looked like one of Milwaukee's more dominant arms in the Cactus League, as he racked up 19 strikeouts against five walks over 12.2 innings while sporting a 3.55 ERA that was inflated by a .438 BABIP. With Devin Williams (back) likely to open the season on the 60-day injured list, the Brewers' closing situation is wide open, but Abner Uribe, Joel Payamps and Trevor Megill look to be the early frontrunners to enter the mix for saves. However, Hudson could eventually work his way into the late-inning picture if he's able to carry over his spring success to the regular season.

Dodgers' Bryan Hudson: Recalled from OKC
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Hudson from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
With Tony Gonsolin (forearm) headed for the injured list, Hudson will come up from the minors to provide Los Angeles' bullpen with additional depth. The 26-year-old southpaw has looked impressive through 45.2 innings in Triple-A with a 2.76 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, but his talents have yet to translate to the majors. Until Hudson is able to turn things around, he will likely be limited to low-leverage situations.
