Joe Hudson

Joe Hudson sitting for Mariners Monday

The Seattle Mariners will not start Joe Hudson at catcher for Monday night's game against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Hudson filled in for Austin Nola during yesterday's game, but with Nola ready to play again, Hudson will return to the bench.

Hudson has not had a great start to the season, with a paltry 0.125 batting average so far. He's projected to make just 20 more plate appearances this season, with 1 homer, 3 runs, 3 RBI, and a 0.263 batting average over those appearances.
