Colorado Rockies right-hander Dakota Hudson, brought up from Triple-A to start Saturday’s game, was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right elbow inflammation.
Hudson, 29, allowed five runs on three hits and four walks in 2 2/3 innings in an 11-8 home loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Rockies had selected his contract earlier Saturday from Triple-A Albuquerque so right-handed starter Cal Quantrill could have extra rest.
Colorado had designed Hudson for assignment on July 7 and he accepted being outrighted to Albuquerque. Hudson (2-12, 6.17 ERA in 89 innings over 18 starts) is tied for the major league lead in losses with Washington’s Patrick Corbin going into Sunday’s games.
Hudson is a career 40-32 with one save and a 4.21 ERA in 132 games (97 starts) with the St. Louis Cardinals (2018-23) and Rockies. The Cardinals selected him in the first round (34th overall) in the 2016 MLB Draft out of Mississippi State.
Colorado also selected the contract of left-hander Josh Rogers from Albuquerque on Sunday. Rogers, 30, is 1-0 with a 6.75 ERA, two walks and two strikeouts in 9 1/3 innings over five relief appearances for the Rockies this season.
