The Rockies transferred Hudson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Removing Hudson from the 40-man roster allows the Rockies to add Jaden Hill. Hudson is now officially done for the season with right elbow inflammation, and he's a likely non-tender candidate this offseason after posting a 6.17 ERA in 18 starts.
Rockies' Dakota Hudson: Out with elbow inflammation
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.
Hudson was called up for his 18th start of the season Saturday versus Atlanta and surrendered five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings in a no-decision. The 29-year-old may not reclaim a spot in the Colorado rotation once healthy, given his 6.17 ERA and 49:50 K:BB over 89 innings this season.

Rockies' Dakota Hudson: Beat up in third inning
Rotowire
Hudson did not factor into the decision in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday, allowing five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings while striking out one.
Hudson allowed the leadoff man to reach in each of his first two innings of work but was fortunate to draw double play balls on both occasions to help him escape unscathed. Things would begin to unravel for the right-hander in the third, however, as he issued walks to three of the first five batters he faced before eventually surrendering a two-out grand slam to Matt Olson. Hudson has now issued three or more walks in each of his last three starts for Colorado (dating back to June 28) and owns an 8:13 K:BB over that stretch. He's also failed to make it through five innings in each of his last two outings, though both of those have come at Coors Field.

Rockies' Dakota Hudson: Officially promoted
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Hudson's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his start Saturday versus Atlanta.
Hudson will come up from the minors to fill the hole in the Rockies' rotation left by Ryan Feltner (shoulder), who landed on the injured list Thursday. The 29-year-old Hudson owns a 5.84 ERA through 86.1 innings in the majors this season, and he'll have the disadvantage of pitching in Coors Field during his first start back in the big leagues. Chasen Shreve was DFA'd in a corresponding move.
