Hudson pitched an inning in relief Monday, giving up two hits with no walks or strikeouts, in a 5-4 loss on Opening Day. Hudson continues to slowly make his way back from his second Tommy John surgery. Throughout spring training the talk from the DBacks was that he would be stretched out to start, but he will pitch from the bullpen for now. He sat in the mid-90s with his fastball in the outing against the Giants, so his arm is certainly live. He will need to work on his command to get back to the pitcher he looked like in 2011 when he logged 220 innings with a 3.49 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. He has thrown only 49 innings in the majors since then.
