Got lit up a little bit today in extended spring so that means I must have had pretty good stuff #toomanystrikes

Hudson is coming off Tommy John Surgery which took place last July. He is still slated to return to the Diamondbacks roster after the MLB All-Star break. When that day comes, manager Kirk Gibson will have some decisions to make in figuring out who’s spot Hudson will take. Right now the playing in Hudson’s spot is one of the hottest starters in the league to this point, Patrick Corbin.
For now, it is another giant leap for Hudson and his recovery from the surgery.
Seriously though the arm felt great today! #KeepPushing
