Hope for '21 return persists Hudson (elbow) continues to throw bullpens off a mound and face live hitters at the Cardinals' extended spring training facility in Florida, and manager Mike Shildt holds out hope...

Impact Hudson has been consistent in his optimism that he could potentially make a 2021 appearance on a big-league mound following September 2020 Tommy John surgery. He appears to be increasingly willing that possibility into existence, although there's naturally no guarantees at this stage. Nevertheless, the fact Hudson has now been throwing for multiple weeks without setbacks is encouraging, and if all parties ultimately opt to play it safe with respect to this season, Hudson certainly appears to be a proverbial lock to open the 2022 campaign at full strength.

Facing hitters Hudson (elbow) announced Monday that he has resumed facing hitters at the Cardinals' extended spring training facility in Florida, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat report...

Impact Despite undergoing surgery in late September of last season, Hudson continues to hold out hope that he'll be able to pitch for the big club in 2021. The fact that he's been cleared to face hitters is an important milestone in the recovery process, but he'll still likely need at least a month and a half to fully ramp up. Any setback suffered along the way would likely close the door on Hudson pitching at any point this season.
