The New York Mets had a busy offseason, signing Jorge Polanco, Bo Bichette, Luke Weaver and Devin Williams, while also trading for Freddy Peralta, Tobias Myers, Luis Robert Jr. and Marcus Semien. The team barely missed the postseason in 2025 after going 83-79 during the regular season.

They opened the 2026 season with an 11-7 win over Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. They also recently designated left-hander Bryan Hudson for assignment after he struggled in spring training.

As of Friday, the left-hander is headed back to his former team. According to the official transactions log, the Chicago White Sox claimed Hudson off waivers.

The Mets retained their two other recently waived players, infielder Vidal Bruján and catcher Ben Rortvedt, at least for the moment. Both were outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse.

The Mets traded for Hudson in spring training after the left-hander had been designated for assignment by the White Sox. With the Mets, he posted a 16.20 ERA in four spring training appearances.

New York designated him for assignment on Wednesday before their season opener. He spent the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and 2024 with the Milwaukee Brewers, where he posted a career-best 1.73 ERA in 43 appearances.

It will be interesting to see if the left-hander can catch on with the White Sox.
