Daniel Hudson has suffered a re-tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Terrible news. Hudson, who had Tommy John surgery last July, suffered the re-tear during an extended spring training start on Tuesday. The 26-year-old right-hander was originally hoping to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation around midseason, he's now likely facing another surgery and an additional year of recovery time. Just brutal. If you had him stashed in a DL spot in your fantasy league, feel free to drop him now. Jun 7 - 4:27 PM

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson left his rehab start Tuesday for Double-A Mobile with elbow stiffness.

Hudson was making his first start outside of three extended spring training outings. He allowed one run on two hits over two innings before exiting. The Diamondbacks had been hoping that Hudson would be available in late June, but the setback is likely to push back his return from the disabled list.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson (elbow) will be re-evaluated after his second rehab start on June 10 to determine if he's ready to be activated.

"The best-case, earliest scenario with those starts would probably be the middle of June," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "But we kind of take it (on a progression) I guess." Hudson is on the same schedule as Brandon McCarthy (shoulder), and it's possible he'll be ready for activation first.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Mobile on Tuesday.

Hudson allowed four runs in six innings Wednesday at extended spring training, hitting 95 mph on the radar gun. When asked if the righty might only need a few starts in the minors, Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said, "We'll see how it goes." The problem for Hudson is that the D'Backs don't currently have room for him in their rotation. Of course, things can change over the next few weeks.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson (elbow) gave up two runs on five hits over four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday.

It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson (elbow) threw 55 pitches over two innings in a live batting practice session on Monday.

"He looked good," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "He was overthrowing in the first inning but he came back in the second and had much better location. Overall it was good." Hudson will now begin throwing on a regular five-day cycle, mixing in a bullpen session in between each outing as he would do during the regular season. The D'Backs are hoping to get him back just before the All-Star break.

Daniel Hudson (elbow) threw 20 pitches in an extended spring training game last week in Arizona.

It was his first live action since undergoing Tommy John surgery last July. "He feels good," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Sunday. "The best-case scenario [for his return] would be pre-All-Star break."

Diamondbacks placed RHP Daniel Hudson on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury.

Hudson is still recovering from Tommy John surgery and is not expected to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation until right around the All-Star break. The 25-year-old can probably be ignored in fantasy drafts this spring but may be worth grabbing off waivers as his return nears.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson has experienced no setbacks in his recovery from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery.

If all continues to go smoothly, he should be back in the Arizona rotation by mid-July. "Obviously, you don't want to rush it because it's such a major injury, but I would say around the All-Star break either right before or right after would be pretty realistic," Hudson said Monday. "That would put me right at 12 months, which is pretty close to average for people to recover from Tommy John."

Daniel Hudson (elbow) threw 40 times from a distance of 45 feet on Monday.

Hudson required season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in early July. He is unlikely to contribute until the second half of the 2013 season.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Monday.

The news was confirmed via Hudson's Twitter account: "Daniel is out of surgery and resting up for the long road ahead. Surgery went beautifully! Thanks to y'all for your thoughts and prayers!" Hudson had an ugly 7.35 ERA in nine starts this season prior to being diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He still has plenty of promise, but will likely be sidelined until the second half of 2013.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

A second opinion from Dr. Lewis Yocum has confirmed that Daniel Hudson needs Tommy John surgery for the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

It's a tough blow for the Diamondbacks. Something obviously wasn't right with Hudson, as he posted a staggering 7.35 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over his 45 1/3 innings this year. He won't return until late in 2013. Josh Collmenter and Patrick Corbin remain the most likely candidates to fill his void in the rotation, though Tyler Skaggs could also be a dark-horse in the race.

Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson is scheduled to visit Dr. Lewis Yocum on Friday for a second opinion about his elbow.

D'Backs doctors have diagnosed Hudson with a torn ulnar collateral ligament and Yocum is doubtful to see things differently, but second opinions are now part of the normal process for pitchers facing a potentially major procedure. The 25-year-old right-hander seems likely to undergo Tommy John elbow surgery in the near future.
