The 36-year-old right-hander sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee while earning a save Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Three appearances into an emotional comeback that lifted the spirits — and improved the back-end depth — of a sagging bullpen, Hudson’s season might be over.
Hudson threw 29 pitches in the ninth inning, the final one a nasty slider that struck out Jack Suwinski to close out a 6-4 Dodgers victory. A grade 1 MCL tear usually heals within one to three weeks, according to the Cleveland Clinic. A grade 2 tear takes four to six weeks, while a grade 3 tear can take six weeks or more.
“It just got to a point where I was like, ‘You know what? I’m ready. I’m done checking boxes here. Let’s just freaking go,’ ” Hudson said last week, acknowledging he would be pitching with discomfort. “I just focused my mind on that, and now I’m here, ready to go.”
