Hudson, who is away from the team for personal reasons, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a shoulder strain. Hudson has reportedly dealt with some added soreness throughout the season, and with Jake Peavy (back) coming off the disabled list, the Giants need to boot someone from the rotation. This move has been discussed for at least the couple few weeks, and while there's no guarantee Hudson gets his rotation spot back when he's eligible to return, the Giants will probably have need of him again this season. He'll be eligible for reinstatement July 12, but the Giants will presumably wait until the second half of the season.
