Hudson is coming off November surgery to repair a herniated disk in his back. He faced 13 batters and threw 38 pitches -- 25 for strikes. He walked one batter and didn’t record a strikeout.
Major Leaguers who have had recent rehab pitching assignments in Charleston include Phil Hughes (Yankees), Carl Pavano (former Yankee; current Twin) and Jon Lester (Red Sox).
Hudson has pitched in the Majors for 13 years and owns 181-97 record with 1,699 strikeouts and a 3.40 ERA.
