Closer Daniel Hudson is off the #Nats roster at the start of the #NLCS as he becomes the first postseason player to go on the paternity list. He must stay on it a minimum of 1 day, maximum of 3, and then can take Wander Suero’s spot on the roster.

Hudson has been one of their only reliable bullpen arms, that could be a big factor till he comes back.
