Hudson, who is currently on the bereavement list, may be in line to take over as the D-backs' closer following the trade of Brad Ziegler to Boston on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

His strikeout rate is down this season (from 9.4 K/9 a year ago to 7.0 in 2016), and he's also struggled to keep runners on base from coming around to score (61.1% LOB%). Hudson arguably has the best combination of stuff and experience in the Arizona bullpen with Ziegler's departure, and it may not be long before D-backs manager Chip Hale tips his hand regarding his new plans for the ninth inning.
