Cardinals Place Dakota Hudson On 45-Day IL

By Connor Byrne | September 22, 2020 at 5:14pm CDT

The Cardinals have placed right-hander Dakota Hudson on the 45-day injured list, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch tweets. They activated righty Kodi Whitley from the IL to take Hudson’s place on their roster.

This will end Hudson’s season, though it’s not a surprising outcome for someone who suffered a right flexor tendon injury last week. The hope is that Hudson will return to health once next season rolls around, especially considering he has been an important member of the Cardinals’ rotation since his first full campaign in 2019.

While fielding-independent metrics such as FIP (4.73) and xFIP (4.55) haven’t been enamored of Hudson’s work, the bottom-line results have been highly encouraging for the 26-year-old throughout his career. So far, thanks in part to a sterling 57.3 percent groundball rate, Hudson has managed a 3.17 ERA across 241 innings and overcome weak strikeout/walk numbers (6.95 K/9, 4.44 BB/9). Hudson’s ability to induce grounders at a high clip helped him to a 2.77 ERA in 39 frames this year.

    At this point it is unclear whether that time on the 45-day injured list,
    will be spent in…

    North Dakota or South Dakota.

    Big loss for St. Louis in the playoffs. They should be knocked out in Round 1 now after losing Hudson.

      He wasn’t even going to pitch in the first best of three series lol. Wainwright, Flaherty, and Kim all have been better than him this year. He would have lined up for game 1 of round 2 if the first round went three games.

          1) Yes he has. He had one horrendous start that has pulled down his numbers in a short year, but he has been good outside of that, even with managements kid gloves with him.
          2) Are we really suggesting that the Cardinals should start Hudson over Flaherty in a post season game?

          2) no. Good point.

          1) I know the Milwaukee game hurt his numbers but he has several inconsistent starts. His pitch counts are always high. My point was Hudson seemed to really be hitting his stride and that’s what hurts. They needed him

          And that’s fair. He just won’t be needed in the first round. There’s a lot of reasons the Cardinals may get knocked out of that one, but Hudson getting hurt isn’t one of them

    Enter the comments… we will provide treatment and rehab over the winter and he will be ready for spring training, followed by Tommy John surgery in March. You can almost see it coming.
