Hudson split the 2019 season between Myrtle Beach and the AZL Cubs, accumulating a 4.66 ERA with 32 strikeouts across 36+2⁄3 innings of work. He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] Hudson returned to action in 2021 to pitch for the Double–A Tennessee Smokies and Triple–A Iowa Cubs, combining for a 6–4 record and 5.76 ERA with 55 strikeouts in 58+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8] He again played for Tennessee and Iowa in 2022, making 39 appearances out of the bullpen, recording a 3.66 ERA with 76 strikeouts and 4 saves in 59 innings of work.[9] Hudson elected free agency following the season on November 10, 2022.[10]
Los Angeles Dodgers
On December 23, 2022, Hudson signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.[11] He began the season with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers before being called up to the majors for the first time on June 17.[12] He pitched two innings in his debut, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk. His first MLB strikeout was of Blake Sabol of the San Francisco Giants.[13] He pitched in six games for Los Angeles, allowing seven runs in 8+2⁄3 innings[14] while pitching 46 games for Oklahoma City to a 5–2 record and 2.43 ERA.[15] On December 27, Hudson was designated for assignment.[16]
Milwaukee Brewers
On January 3, 2024, the Dodgers traded Hudson to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor leaguer Justin Chambers and a player to be named later.[17] Hudson immediately became a major factor in the Brewers' bullpen, being frequently used in two-inning stints to maintain leads. By early July, Hudson had a 0.82 ERA after throwing the fifth-most innings of any reliever in Major League Baseball. This pace would have had Hudson pitching more innings than he had since converting from a starting role in 2019. As a result, the Brewers announced that they would be more closely monitoring his usage to avoid overtaxing Hudson's body.[18] By September 3, Hudson had a 1.73 ERA and a 0.72 WHIP over 43 relief appearances, but was optioned to Triple-A and spent the remainder of the season with the Nashville Sounds due to a decrease in his fastball's velocity.[19]
Hudson made 12 appearances for the Brewers during the 2025 season, posting an 0-1 record and 4.35 ERA with 13 strikeouts across 10+1⁄3 innings pitched. He was designated for assignment by Milwaukee on July 31, 2025.[20]
Chicago White Sox
On August 3, 2025, Hudson was claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox.[21] He made four appearances for the White Sox, recording a 5.79 ERA with six strikeouts across 4+2⁄3 innings pitched.
Hudson was designated for assignment by Chicago following the signing of Austin Hays on February 4, 2026.[22]
New York Mets
On February 10, 2026, Hudson was traded to the New York Mets in exchange for cash considerations.[23]
