2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hudson appeared poised to be a key rotation piece for years to come in St. Louis after he posted a 3.17 ERA in 67 outings from 2018-2020, but he missed most of 2021 while recovering from Tommy John surgery and struggled to a 4.64 ERA the past two seasons. He was non-tendered by the Cardinals in November before latching on with the Rockies, which should ensure a starting role for 2024. It's obviously not a favorable landing spot given the Coors Field factor, which will likely make him a volatile fantasy option even with a relatively solid performance. Read Past Outlooks

Roughed up but avoids loss
Hudson pitched 3.1 innings, allowing six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four batters in a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Three of the six hits Hudson gave up went for extra-bases, including a two-run homer by Ha-Seong Kim in the third inning. The right-handed hurler didn't help his cause in issuing four free passes, and he's had control issues of late with 12 walks over his past 13.1 frames. Despite the messy stat line, Hudson managed to avoid taking the loss in a game he started for the first time this season as a result of a late Rockies rally. However, Hudson's season ERA now sits at 6.57, making him an undesirable arm in almost all fantasy formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade could be on horizon
Hudson could be dealt by the Cardinals ahead of the August 1 trade deadline, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was expected to have at least a semi-regular role in St. Louis' rotation this season, but he's spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Memphis and has a 6.00 ERA in 11 starts. Hudson joined the big club in early July and has given up two earned runs across 6.2 innings out of the bullpen, but he hardly has a safe place on the roster. The 28-year-old is a candidate to be non-tendered after the season, which could prompt the Cardinals to instead move him at the trade deadline.

2017
Hudson's first full season back from Tommy John surgery started well enough, but it ended with him in the minor leagues. While he turned in a 2.76 ERA in his first 11 appearances of 2022 (58.2 innings), he had just a 34:25 K:BB in that span, hinting at imminent disaster. Sure enough, things fell apart for the right-hander. He was demoted to the bullpen and ultimately to Triple-A after posting a 5.48 ERA over the course of July and August. Groundballs via the sinker and slider are the name of the game for Hudson, who owns just a 16.3 K% in the majors. There is little to get excited about here from a stuff standpoint and he's not assured anything out of camp. Hudson has a few minor-league options remaining even at 28 years old, so the Cardinals may keep him stretched out with Memphis as starting depth to begin 2023.
