Hudson may soon be placed on the disabled list to get some rest, CSN Bay Area reports. Jake Peavy (back) is expected to rejoin the rotation next weekend against the Rockies, with Matt Cain (forearm) not too far behind. Hudson has struggled since the middle of last season, and he's reportedly needed extra treatment throughout the year. Even if Hudson is placed on the disabled list, the Giants will likely also need to demote either Tim Lincecum or Ryan Vogelsong to the bullpen.

Hudson (5-6) picked up the win against the Dodgers on Saturday with 6.1 innings of two-run ball. He allowed six hits and two walks while striking out three. As he approaches his 40th birthday, Hudson is posting some of the worst numbers of his career, with a 4.52 ERA that's his highest since 2006 and a 4.68 FIP that's his highest ever. As usual, he's not missing many bats, but the veteran continues to eat innings for the Giants with his groundball-oriented approach. Hudson's next start comes Friday at home against the Rockies.

Hudson fell to 4-6 after giving up three runs on eight hits over five innings Monday against Seattle. He struck out three and walked one. Hudson induced nine ground balls and 10 swinging strikes, but the balls kept finding the holes -- all eight hits were singles. It's rough luck for Hudson but also part of the deal when you don't strike batters out -- Hudson has just 40 strikeouts now in 79.1 innings.

Hudson (4-5) picked up the win despite giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings Wednesday against the Mets. He struck out just one batter. Well, that's about as unimpressive as you can be in a win -- Hudson was fortunate to escape with just the four runs of damage, as he was in trouble throughout this start. As he approaches his 40th birthday, Hudson's lost a lot of his fantasy appeal, as his high-contact approach has yielded unattractive ratios that don't promise to get much better. He'll next draw a home gig against the Mariners on Monday.

Hudson (3-5) struck out a season-high-tying six and allowed just two runs on seven hits over seven innings, but took the loss Wednesday against Pittsburgh. Hudson has been nearly useless in most fantasy leagues this year, with his propensity for getting blown up and general lack of strikeouts, but sometimes he turns in an outing reminiscent of the good old days. He also helped his cause with a double and a run scored. Hudson's put together a couple strong efforts in a row, and he'll next draw a Mets team that he's beaten more times (17) than any other franchise.

Hudson (3-4) picked up his third win of the season as he held his former team to just one run over seven innings. He struck out four while walking none in the win over the Braves. Hudson bounced back after a rough start in Colorado with a gem at home. His 4.64 ERA and 4.3 K/9 won't inspire confidence in fantasy owners, but his 4.05 home ERA (0.68 ERA over last two) make him stream-worthy at AT&T Park in deeper leagues. Coincidentally, his next start comes against the Pirates at home this Wednesday.

Hudson was blown up for eight runs on six hits and two walks through just 3.2 innings against the Rockies on Sunday. The loss dropped his record to 2-4 on the season. The 39-year-old was coming off a shutout victory in his last start, so Sunday's performance was disappointing, although he was pitching at Coors Field. Hudson's ERA ballooned to 5.07 on the season after his Sunday struggles, and he will try to right the ship against the Braves on Friday.

Hudson (2-3) picked up the win Tuesday, tossing 6.1 innings of shutout ball with two strikeouts against the Dodgers. Hudson bounced back nicely after a rough stretch of allowing three earned runs or more over his last six outings. He definitely took advantage of a cold night in San Francisco, but he likely won't find the same success during his next start in Colorado this Sunday.

Hudson allowed three runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 5.1 innings against the Astros on Wednesday. Hudson rebounded after giving up six runs in his last start Thursday, but he still has allowed at least three runs in his last six starts. The 39-year-old is struggling, and we'll see if he can steady himself in his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Hudson (1-3) gave up 15 hits and six runs while striking out three in 6.2 innings Thursday against the Marlins. Hudson allowed a career-high 15 hits as the Giants lost their second straight after winning 10 of the previous 13. In his previous six starts against the Marlins, Hudson had won every single one. The 40-year-old veteran has a 4.50 ERA for the season and he'll pitch again Wednesday at Houston.
