The Angels reassigned Hudson to minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson tossed two scoreless innings over his lone Cactus League appearance, but he wasn't a serious contender for an Opening Day roster spot after submitting a lowly 6.17 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over his 18 big-league starts with the Rockies in 2024. Assuming he doesn't elect free agency, Hudson will likely open the season as a member of the Triple-A Salt Lake rotation.

The Angels signed Hudson to a minor-league contract Monday, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson posted an ugly 6.17 ERA in 18 starts this past season for the Rockies. The 30-year-old holds a 5.08 ERA and 1.53 WHIP since the start of the 2022 season and seems likely to begin the 2025 campaign as rotation depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Hudson elected free agency Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies removed Hudson from their 40-man roster and he's choosing free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Essentially, it's a way for the club to non-tender the right-hander early, as it was unlikely to offer Hudson a raise via arbitration after the righty posted a 6.17 ERA in 18 starts this season. Hudson ended the season on the injured list with right elbow inflammation but should be healthy by spring training.

The Rockies transferred Hudson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Removing Hudson from the 40-man roster allows the Rockies to add Jaden Hill. Hudson is now officially done for the season with right elbow inflammation, and he's a likely non-tender candidate this offseason after posting a 6.17 ERA in 18 starts.

The Rockies placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson was called up for his 18th start of the season Saturday versus Atlanta and surrendered five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings in a no-decision. The 29-year-old may not reclaim a spot in the Colorado rotation once healthy, given his 6.17 ERA and 49:50 K:BB over 89 innings this season.

Hudson did not factor into the decision in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday, allowing five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson allowed the leadoff man to reach in each of his first two innings of work but was fortunate to draw double play balls on both occasions to help him escape unscathed. Things would begin to unravel for the right-hander in the third, however, as he issued walks to three of the first five batters he faced before eventually surrendering a two-out grand slam to Matt Olson. Hudson has now issued three or more walks in each of his last three starts for Colorado (dating back to June 28) and owns an 8:13 K:BB over that stretch. He's also failed to make it through five innings in each of his last two outings, though both of those have come at Coors Field.

The Rockies selected Hudson's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his start Saturday versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson will come up from the minors to fill the hole in the Rockies' rotation left by Ryan Feltner (shoulder), who landed on the injured list Thursday. The 29-year-old Hudson owns a 5.84 ERA through 86.1 innings in the majors this season, and he'll have the disadvantage of pitching in Coors Field during his first start back in the big leagues. Chasen Shreve was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

The Rockies will select Hudson's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Saturday's game against Atlanta, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The loss of Ryan Feltner (shoulder) created an opening in Colorado's starting rotation, and it seems Hudson will be the choice to fill the gap until Feltner is able to return. The 29-year-old Hudson has started 17 games for the Rockies this season, but he was outrighted to Albuquerque in early July after accumulating a 5.84 ERA and 1.64 WHIP -- both of which represent the worst marks of his seven-year MLB career. Cal Quantrill, who was originally slated to start Saturday's game, will have his next start pushed back to Colorado's next series in Arizona.

Hudson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies designated Hudson for assignment Sunday after the right hander struggled with a 5.84 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 17 starts. The 29-year-old had a 3.17 ERA in his first three seasons before needing Tommy John surgery. Since returning from the elbow procedure in late 2021, he has not been the same with a 4.90 ERA.

The Rockies designated Hudson for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander joined Colorado on a one-year, $1.5 million contract in January but struggled to a 5.84 ERA, 1.64 WHIP a 48:46 K:BB through 17 starts. Hudson also had a 4.98 ERA in 18 outings last season, so he may not generate significant interest on the waiver wire.
