Hudson would like to return to a starting role in 2016, reports Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

EDGE Analysis

Hudson has made a nice return from his second Tommy john surgery, tossing 58.1 innings with a 4.01 ERA and 1.35 WHIP and a 58:22 K:BB ratio. There is not a lot of precedent for a pitcher with his injury history going back to starting after relieving for a year, but Hudson notes that he would pursue it only if it's best for the team. Hudson is three years removed from his last season as a regular starter and four years from a 222 inning season in which he posted a 3.49 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 33 starts in 2011.
