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

Competing for rotation spot
Hudson is competing for a rotation spot with Ryan Feltner, Peter Lambert, Ty Blach and Noah Davis this spring, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rockies signed Hudson to a one-year, $1.5 million contract this offseason. He's worked primarily as a starter throughout his career, though did pitch out of the bullpen with the Cardinals to close the 2023 campaign. Hudson has struggled significantly the last two seasons, posting a 1.45 and 1.50 WHIP, respectively. He made his spring debut Thursday and allowed a hit and two walks across a scoreless inning.

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.
