Confirming their worst fears after an injury on Friday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced that set-up man Daniel Hudson officially has a torn ACL and will have season-ending surgery. The injury occurred when he landed awkwardly after throwing a pitch in the 8th inning Friday night.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says "it was a clean tear of the ACL. Obviously, it’s a big loss."

The 35-year-old Hudson says he will attempt a comeback next season, as he doesn't want that to be his last memory on a baseball field.

Hudson finishes the season with 5 saves and a 2.22 ERA.

The Dodgers bullpen has already been without key setup man Blake Treinen as well as Tommy Kahnle.
