Manager Chip Hale will try to avoid using Hudson (finger) on Friday and possibly Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson was removed from Thursday's game with a cut on his pitching hand, so Hale is taking a cautious route with his reliever and trying to avoid using him until the cut is healed. The Diamondbacks have plenty of other right-handed options in the bullpen, such as David Hernandez, Addison Reed, and Josh Collmenter, who could easily bridge the gap until Hudson returns later in the series.
