Now comes the less obvious decision. They’ve got to determine where the right-hander fits. The Cardinals are having an ongoing internal discussion about how Hudson, who had a resurgent return to the rotation after a spell in the minors, can be best utilized in the final weeks of the regular season. Hudson was available out of the bullpen Wednesday, and for the next turn of the rotation, the Cardinals will not shift from the plan to have Adam Wainwright start Sunday at Dodger Stadium. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol left open the possibility that after this weekend, Hudson could tag in to give the starters an extra day of rest. “He could be used a couple of different ways,” Marmol said. “Insert him into the rotation to buy people a day. We can use him as long relief. We could use him for an inning.” Eligible to be the Cardinals’ 29th man this past Saturday against Cincinnati, Hudson pitched eight innings, did not allow an earned run and struck out five. He worked a swift game with 12 ground balls — exactly the kind of aggressive and blended use of his pitches and pace that the Cardinals had wanted to see from their young starter throughout the season. He acknowledged that a demotion to Class AAA Memphis and starts in the minors with a pitch clock helped reset his season. As many ways as the Cardinals could use Hudson at his best is also how many ways they could need him in the coming weeks. [/QUOTE]
