Dakota Hudson - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs with Rox Hudson signed a one-year contract with the Rockies on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hudson was non-tendered by the Cardinals earlier in the offseason after putting up a 4.64 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with a 123:95 K:BB across the past two seasons. Signing with the Rockies should ensure Hudson remains part of a major-league rotation, but having to pitch his home games at Coors Field likely won't help his subpar statline.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three runs in loss Hudson gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks across five innings in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Brewers. He struck out three.

Impact Hudson once again had trouble keeping traffic off the basepaths, allowing two of his runs on singles to William Contreras and Christian Yelich. His struggles with the free pass continued as the right-hander has now allowed three walks in four of his last five games. He finishes the season with a 4.98 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 81.1 innings, with 45 strikeouts.

Avoids disaster Friday Hudson allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres.

Impact Hudson threw 52 of 84 pitches for strikes and uncorked two wild pitches, making him lucky to give up only two runs with the heavy traffic he put on the bases. He's posted quality starts in tow of his five outings in September, though he's given up just two home runs over 27.1 innings this month. For the season, Hudson has a 4.95 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 42:31 K:BB through 76.1 innings over 17 appearances (11 starts). He's lined up for a road outing in Milwaukee next week to wrap up his season.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Modest effort in no-decision Hudson allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings Sunday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Hudson allowed just one hit through the first three innings, but the Phillies finally got to him with three runs in the fourth. Shockingly enough, Hudson's three strikeouts were his most in a start since he had seven Aug. 20. He had just five strikeouts in his previous four starts and has only managed to reach six innings once in his last six starts. The 28-year-old is up to a 5.12 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 40:30 K:BB in 70.1 innings. He's projected to face the Padres on the road in his next outing.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blasted for seven runs Hudson (6-2) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Orioles. He struck out two.

Impact Hudson entered the bottom of the fifth with a 5-3 lead and a chance to put himself in position for the victory but recorded only one out while allowing a run and loading the bases prior to being pulled. Andre Pallante replaced Hudson and promptly allowed a grand slam to Cedric Mullins which closed the door on Hudson's outing and the Cardinals' chances. Hudson has now allowed five or more runs in three of his last four starts. His next chance for redemption is scheduled to come this weekend in a tough home matchup with the Phillies.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win despite rough finish Hudson (6-1) earned the win over Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two batters over five innings.

Impact Hudson was staked to an early 6-0 lead before yielding two runs in the fourth inning. He was still ahead 7-2 entering the sixth but couldn't record an out in that frame, allowing four straight baserunners -- three of whom crossed the plate -- before his departure. Hudson nonetheless collected the win, his fifth over his past seven outings. He's settled into a spot in the Cardinals' rotation and should remain there for the rest of the campaign, as he's posted a passable 4.54 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 41.2 innings across seven starts since the beginning of August.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes seven strong Friday Hudson pitched seven innings, giving up one run on three hits and two walks in Friday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Hudson gave up an RBI-double to Alfonso Rivas in the top of the second, but he went unscathed the rest of the way. The right-hander matched his longest outing of the season at seven frames and he has now recorded three quality starts over his last six outings. Hudson now owns a respectable 4.02 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 33 strikeouts over 56 innings in 13 starts this season.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first loss Hudson (5-1) allowed five runs on six hits and five walks while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings in a loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.

Impact Hudson came into the contest having won each of his previous four starts, but he couldn't continue that streak against the Phillies. The right-hander made it through two scoreless frames, but Philadelphia tagged him for at least one run in each of the remaining innings in which he pitched. The five total runs Hudson allowed tied a campaign-high mark, and Saturday was the first time he's issued more than three walks in an outing this season. Despite a 5-1 record, Hudson's 4.41 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB over 49 innings make him far from a reliable fantasy asset.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains undefeated Sunday Hudson (5-0) got the win Sunday over the Mets after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings.

Impact Hudson surrendered a run in the third and then was punished by a Pete Alonso long ball in the fourth to put the Mets up 2-1. He wound up departing the game in line for the win after the Cardinals went up 3-2 in the fifth. Hudson tied a season-high with seven strikeouts and it was his fourth consecutive start allowing three or fewer earned runs. The one knock on Hudson is he's allowed at least one home run in each of his last four starts but has otherwise been the Cardinals' most consistent pitcher. He now owns a 3.95 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB in 43.1 innings (five starts) and will look to pick up his fifth consecutive win in a weekend road matchup with the Phillies.

Keeps rolling Tuesday Hudson (4-0) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over 6.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Athletics.

Impact Hudson has won all three of his starts since moving into the rotation, posting a 3.86 ERA and 12:5 K:BB over 18.2 innings in that span. While it's far from dominant, he's provided stable innings for a Cardinals rotation that has struggled with consistency all year. The right-hander is now at a 4.03 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB through 38 innings over 10 appearances (four starts) this season. Hudson is tentatively projected for a home start against the Mets over the weekend.

Grabs third win Hudson (3-0) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings against the Rays. He struck out two.

Impact Hudson's now 2-0 in two starts since rejoining St. Louis' rotation while allowing six runs over 12 innings. Overall, the 28-year-old Hudson sports a 4.31 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 31.1 innings this season. He's lined up for a home matchup with thhe A's in his next outing.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another start Wednesday Hudson is scheduled to make his next start with the Cardinals on Wednesday at Tampa Bay.

Impact St. Louis added Hudson and Matthew Liberatore to the rotation last week after the team dealt away Jack Flaherty and Jordan Montgomery ahead of the trade deadline. Both pitchers will make their next starts in Tampa Bay, but of the two, Hudson is coming off the more encouraging outing. He picked up his second win of the season this past Wednesday versus Minnesota, covering seven innings while striking out seven and allowing three runs on two hits and three walks.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes win after joining rotation Hudson (2-0) earned the win over Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings.

Impact Hudson has spent most of the season in a long-relief role, but he was moved into the rotation after St. Louis traded starters Jordan Montgomery and Jack Flaherty. Hudson excelled in his first traditional start of the campaign, getting through six scoreless frames before Matt Wallner tagged him for a three-run homer in the seventh. The right-handed hurler still managed to complete that inning and finished with a quality start and a victory. Hudson was a starter all of last season, posting a 4.45 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and poor 78:61 K:BB over 139.2 frames while compiling an 8-7 record. Given those results, it's probably best to hold off on pursuing him in fantasy until he's able to string together multiple strong outings.

Moves into rotation Hudson will start Wednesday's game against the Twins at Busch Stadium.

Impact Hudson and Matthew Liberatore will slot into the rotation this week after St. Louis sent out starters Jordan Montgomery and Jack Flaherty to the Rangers and Orioles, respectively, prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. Though all but one of his seven appearances with the Cardinals this season have come in a starting role, Hudson should be able to provide a decent amount of length in his return to the rotation Wednesday after he covered 4.1 innings and tossed 93 pitches out of the bullpen in his most recent appearance last Thursday against the Cubs. Hudson holds a 4.19 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 19.1 innings in the big leagues on the season.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Covers bulk innings Thursday Hudson allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings in Thursday's 10-3 loss to the Cubs. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Starter Miles Mikolas was ejected for throwing at Ian Happ after the Chicago outfielder caught Willson Contreras (head) with a backswing earlier in the at-bat. Hudson was able to mop up some innings in the blowout loss, which kept him on a regular turn. The right-hander currently isn't part of the Cardinals' rotation, but he could be the next man up if pitchers like Jordan Montgomery or Jack Flaherty are dealt away ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Hudson has a 4.19 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB through 19.1 innings over seven appearances (one start) this season.

JULY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes three innings Hudson allowed two runs on five hits and struck out one without walking a batter in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Wednesday.

Impact The Cardinals took a 4-0 lead in the first inning, but Hudson didn't pitch deep enough to qualify for the win. He threw 66 pitches (45 strikes) in the spot start, though it's unclear if he'll be stretched out over the next few weeks to enter the rotation. Hudson has held his own in the majors this season, posting a 2.77 ERA despite a 1.31 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB through 13 innings over five appearances. He worked as a starter with Triple-A Memphis, but he exceeded five innings just twice in 11 outings. If Hudson gets another start, he's tentatively lined up for a challenging road start in Arizona next week.

Draws start for bullpen game Hudson will start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hudson has appeared in four games for the Cardinals this season, putting up a strong 1.80 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 10 innings. Most recently, he pitched 3.1 scoreless frames and picked up the win Saturday against the Nationals. The 28-year-old righty will likely stay in the game for two or three innings before being relieved.

Snags win Saturday Hudson (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out two without walking a batter over 3.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Nationals.

Impact Steven Matz had mixed results starting Saturday's regularly-scheduled contest, but Hudson provided quality work in a de facto piggyback role. Over four appearances in the majors, Hudson has given up three runs (two earned) across 10 innings, good for a 1.80 ERA despite a 1.20 WHIP. He's been limited to relief work so far, but there's an opening in the rotation with Adam Wainwright (shoulder) still on the injured list for at least two more weeks. The Cardinals don't have any days off in that span, so Hudson could be a candidate to make two or three starts if that's the decision manager Oliver Marmol makes.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves up to big club The Cardinals recalled Hudson from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Impact Hudson was sent back to Memphis a day after serving as the Cardinals' 27th man in last Saturday's doubleheader with the Yankees, but he'll be back with the big club less than a week later after starter Adam Wainwright (shoulder) was moved to the injured list Tuesday. Steven Matz is set to move into the rotation Wednesday against the Marlins, so Hudson looks as though he'll have to settle for a long-relief role while he's up with the Cardinals, likely through the All-Star break.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Triple-A Hudson was returned to Triple-A Memphis after serving as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

Impact Hudson pitched 2.2 scoreless innings, allowing a hit and striking out two in relief of Matthew Liberatore in the nightcap. After the brief stint in the majors, Hudson will return to Memphis' rotation, where he has a lackluster 6.00 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB over 48 innings across 11 starts.
