Tim Hudson (back) is expected to make his season debut on April 29 or 30 against the Pirates. Hudson pitched well in his last rehab start, and he'll get one more, throwing 100-110 pitches, before activation. "Stuff-wise last night I felt like I was pretty close to where I want to be," said Hudson. "I'd like to get my arm strength up a little bit. I was sitting around 89-90 [mph] most of the night. I had some 87, 88's in there - I don't like seeing those too much on the radar gun. But I think after pitching more and getting some more work, working out and long-tossing, that stuff will get better." Hudson will replace Randall Delgado in the rotation.
