Dakota Hudson News
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dakota Hudson will get the ball for his fourth start of the season Tuesday night against the visiting Oakland A's. It's the 28-year-old's 10th appearance overall this season as he has spent much of the campaign at Triple-A. It's been tough sledding for the right-hander who posted a 6.00 ERA across 11 minor-league starts but he's also worked to a reasonable 4.31 ERA in the big leagues across 31 1/3 innings this season. Hudson's career started quite promising as he posted a 2.63 ERA across 26 relief outings as a 23-year-old rookie in 2018 before turning in a 3.35 ERA across 174 2/3 innings as a full-time starter the following season. He has a nice opportunity to lower his ERA Tuesday against an A's offense that sits in a three-way tie for last place with a .292 wOBA versus right-handed pitching this season.
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dakota Hudson will start Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins Wednesday, per St. Louis Dispatch's Derrick Goold. Sandy Alcantara will be the opposing pitcher. Hudson started the season with Triple-A Memphis and compiled a poor 6.00 ERA in 11 starts. However, he has turned in a 1.80 ERA over 10 innings of relief since joining the Cardinals in the beginning of July. While he offers little strikeout upside, Hudson has been a useful streamer at times throughout his career. However, given his opponent, his Minor League numbers this season, and the fact that he has not started for the Cardinals this season, fantasy managers should avoid him in this matchup.
The St. Louis Cardinals optioned left-hander Matthew Liberatore and right-hander Dakota Hudson to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday. The Cardinals will roll with Adam Wainwright, Miles Mikolas, Jordan Montgomery, Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz in their five-man starting rotation to begin the 2023 regular season, so Liberatore and Hudson will begin in the minors. Liberatore is the team's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but the 23-year-old southpaw will need to show better life on his fastball if he's going to have continued success once he gets another shot in St. Louis' rotation. Hudson, 28, will work on building up his velocity at Memphis before the Cardinals consider him a rotation option at the big-league level.
