Dakota Hudson Stats

The St. Louis Cardinals and starting pitcher Dakota Hudson avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.65 million deal on Friday. It wasn't a great year for Hudson in 2022. In his return from Tommy John surgery, he recorded a career-high 4.45 ERA (4.34 FIP), 1.45 WHIP and career-low 13.1 percent strikeout rate in 139 2/3 innings over 27 appearances (26 starts). Heading into his sixth season with the Cardinals, Hudson is in line to open the 2023 campaign in the bullpen, limiting his fantasy appeal in deeper formats. He should eventually see some time in the rotation, but he's gone over 139 innings just one in his career and will have limited fantasy upside.

The St. Louis Cardinals optioned starting pitcher Dakota Hudson to Triple-A on Monday. The 27-year-old has been a solid rotation option for the Cardinals this year, logging a 4.43 ERA, a 4.45 FIP, 72 walks, and 56 walks in 126 innings. He's given up three runs or fewer in six of his last 10 starts but will head to Triple-A to make room on the active roster for fellow starting pitcher Jack Flaherty, who was activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. St. Louis' current rotation options include Flaherty, Adam Wainwright, Jordan Montgomery, Miles Mikolas, and Jose Quintana.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol's patience is running thin with starting pitcher Dakota Hudson after Hudson allowed six runs on nine hits while walking three and striking out two in four innings in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves. "This is the big leagues, and it's about performance; this isn't a tryout," Marmol said. Hudson's inability to limit walks while regularly falling behind in counts has hurt him this year, as he's now sporting a 4.29 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with only 46 strikeouts and a league-high 39 free passes issued in 84 innings over his 16 starts. Steven Matz (shoulder) is still two rehab starts away from returning to the rotation, but when he's ready, he could slot into Hudson's spot if he continues to struggle.
