With an off day Monday and a wish to maximize the appearances of newcomers Jose Quintana and Jordan Montgomery, the Cardinals plan to rearrange their pitching rotation and not have Hudson make his next turn. The Cardinals will begin this week’s visit from Colorado with Quintana starting Tuesday and can have Montgomery and Adam Wainwright on normal rest for the remainder of the three-game series. That frees up Hudson to throw an additional bullpen session before returning to the rotation on the upcoming trip. “It would be good to give him extra time — that’s a big part of it,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “(You could) go two ways. The extra touches there could help him. He’s working on figuring some stuff out, and getting back out there could be useful. But doing an extra bullpen session could also help.” During his start at Coors Field last week, Hudson allowed only two runs on four hits and utilized his slider on the way to a season-high six strikeouts. The right-hander did what coaches have asked him to do and worked with a far swifter pace, and he said afterward that he felt the difference of “the defense engaged, kept the ball on the ground for the most part and trying to do what I can to help win a game.” He also walked four batters — three of them on four pitches.
