Dakota Hudson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Colorado Rockies moved right-hander Dakota Hudson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday while selecting the contract of right-hander Jaden Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. The Rockies also optioned left-hander Evan Justice to Albuquerque. With the move, the rest of Hudson's 2024 season is officially over. In his first year in Colorado after beginning his career with six years in St. Louis, Hudson struggled to a 2-12 record with a career-worst 6.17 ERA (5.55 FIP), a 1.67 WHIP and a 49:50 K:BB in 89 innings over just 18 starts for the Rockies. The 29-year-old really has not been the same pitcher since missing most of the 2021 season due to Tommy John surgery. In the last three years, he's had a 5.08 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 12.7% strikeout rate and 10.7% walk rate.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Dakota Hudson (elbow) is being placed on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation. Hudson got the start on Saturday as he faced the Atlanta Braves but got hit quite hard as he served up five earned runs in just two 2/3 innings of work. In a corresponding move, the Rockies promoted left-handed pitcher Josh Rogers from Triple-A. When Hudson returns from his stint on the injured list, he could return to the rotation, as the Rockies have several starters who are currently sidelined. However, he should remain on all waiver wires for the foreseeable future given the poor 6.17 ERA and 1.67 WHIP he sits with this season.

Colorado Rockies right-hander Dakota Hudson cleared waivers on Thursday and has been outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque. The move comes after the Rockies designated Hudson for assignment over the weekend. It's not all that surprising that no teams were interested in picking him up off of waivers after he went 2-12 this year with a 5.84 ERA (5.34 FIP) and 1.64 WHIP with 48 strikeouts and a league-leading 46 walks in 86 1/3 innings over his 17 starts in his first year in Colorado. The 29-year-old former 34th overall pick by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2016 out of Mississippi State will now head to Albuquerque and try to figure things out before potentially rejoining Colorado's starting rotation at some point in the second half. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should have moved on a long time ago.
