Next start coming Sunday Manager Oliver Marmol said Hudson will make his second start of the season Sunday in Milwaukee, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Hudson looked as though he might miss out on a two-start week after the Cardinals' game Wednesday against the Royals was rained out, but he'll remain on his normal four days' rest to take the hill Sunday after Marmol opted to push No. 5 starter Jordan Hicks back in the pitching schedule. The 27-year-old righty will be looking for better results in Milwaukee after taking a no-decision in his season debut against Kansas City on Tuesday. Hudson worked four innings in the Cardinals' 6-5 win, giving up three earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four.

Allows three runs in no-decision Hudson took a no-decision versus the Royals on Tuesday. He allowed three runs on five hits and no walks with four strikeouts in four innings.

Impact Hudson departed with the Cardinals ahead, but he didn't work deep enough into the game to get the win. The right-hander threw 39 of 70 pitches for strikes, which makes it a little more impressive that he didn't allow a walk. Injuries have derailed his last two seasons, but the 27-year-old is expected to work as a starter throughout the year. He lines up to make his next start on the road versus the Marlins next week.

Impact As a result of the rainout, the Cardinals will move No. 5 starter Jordan Hicks to the back of the pitching order, while the other three members of the rotation minus Hudson remain in line to start on the previously scheduled days. Because of the postponement, Hudson looks like he'll miss out on the two-start week. The Cardinals are planning to have Hicks make his first start in Milwaukee on Sunday, which would be the first day Hudson would be available to start following his outing Tuesday. As a result, look for the Cardinals to add another temporary starter to the mix to take the hill Saturday.

St. Louis-Pittsburgh postponed Monday Hudson and the Cardinals won't face the Pirates on Monday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in St. Louis, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The two teams will make up the postponed game as part of a split doubleheader June 14. The Cardinals haven't indicated how the postponement will affect their pitching schedule, but Hudson will presumably be pushed back a day along with the other four members of the rotation. In that scenario, Hudson would still line up for a two-start week, with his turns coming Tuesday against the Royals in St. Louis and Sunday against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Gets $1.05 million for 2022 Hudson and the Cardinals agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $1.05 million contract, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The two sides struck a deal while Hudson made his first start of the Grapefruit League slate Tuesday. He worked two scoreless frames and covered 40 pitches in the Cardinals' 4-3 win over the Marlins, putting him well on his way to getting stretched out for starting duty in advance of Opening Day. Hudson's recovery from September 2020 Tommy John surgery limited him to just one late-season start in 2021, but the Cardinals will be counting on him to serve as a full-time member of the rotation during the upcoming campaign.

Benjamin Hochman: North, Dakota — Cardinals' Hudson is pitcher on the rise thanks to sinking pitch JUPITER, Fla. — Even before Wednesday, I’ve believed that Dakota Hudson could be this year’s Jack Flaherty.

Five scoreless frames Hudson got a no-decision in Friday's 4-3 win over the Cubs, allowing three runs and one walk with four strikeouts in five scoreless innings.

Impact Making only his second start of the season, Hudson made his case to be part of St. Louis' postseason staff with five clean innings and only 70 pitches thrown. He departed with a 2-0 lead, but Chicago eventually came back and erased the 27-year-old from the final line. Hudson will look to come back stronger in 2022 if he isn't part of St. Louis' postseason plans.

Tabbed to start Friday Hudson will start Friday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Hudson made his season debut last Friday with 3.2 innings of bulk relief after completing his rehab from Tommy John surgery, and he'll now make his first start of the season in Friday's series opener. The 27-year-old covered five frames in each of his final two rehab starts in the minors, so he should be able to pitch deep enough to potentially qualify for a victory.

As Cardinals win 14th straight and surge toward postseason, here's how they'll use Jack Flaherty and Dakota Hudson On Friday, Flaherty pitched in the majors for the first time in a month after missing the last four weeks with right shoulder tightness.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Pitches well Friday Hudson (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits while striking out three over 3.2 innings as he picked up the win over the Cubs on Friday.

Impact Hudson made his first appearance this season after spending time recovering from the Tommy John surgery he had last September. He piggybacked Jack Flaherty in the twin bill of Friday's doubleheader and likely entered earlier than he anticipated after Flaherty was only able to record a single out before getting pulled. Regardless, Hudson looked solid after not pitching in a live game for over a year. The 26-year-old allowed a run in the third and fifth innings but otherwise held the Cubs in check, throwing 61 pitches and 41 for strikes. It's unclear what the Cardinals have in store for him moving forward, but he'll likely continue to follow Flaherty as the two figure to keep working in a tandem to close out the year.

Activated as 29th man Hudson (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list and is the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

Impact It's unclear whether Hudson will be a starter or long reliever going forward for the Cardinals, but he could be deployed in tandem for the second game of Friday's twin bill with Jack Flaherty (shoulder), who will also be activated from the IL later in the day ahead of his Game 2 start. Hudson's next appearance will be his first of 2021 after he spent the past 12 months recovering from Tommy John surgery. After having thrown five innings in each of his last two rehab outings, Hudson shouldn't face any limitations in terms of workload.

Could be on verge of activation Hudson (elbow) was pulled from his scheduled rehab start at Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday due to the possibility of a looming activation from the injured list, the team's official...

Impact The Cardinals are playing a total of five games from Thursday through Sunday, and manager Mike Shildt wanted to evaluate his pitching needs for the condensed period before having Hudson put more minor-league innings on his arm. The possibility exists the right-hander is activated at some point over the weekend and put right into action for the big-league club, although whether that would be as a starter or reliever remains to be seen.
