Dakota Hudson named Cardinals' fifth starter
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dakota Hudson will open the season as the fifth starter in the rotation.
What It Means:
Cardinals manager Mike Schildt said John Gant, who was Hudson's main competitor for the last spot, will play a "hybrid role" out of the bullpen. Hudson, a 24-year-old right-hander, pitched exclusively in relief for St. Louis as a rookie.
Hudson recorded a 2.63 ERA with 19 strikeouts and 18 walks over 27 1/3 innings in 26 appearances in 2018.
