The Cardinals will push Hudson back one day in the pitching schedule and have him start Tuesday against the Royals after Monday's series finale with the Pirates was postponed due to inclement weather in St. Louis, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
As a result of the rainout, the Cardinals will move No. 5 starter Jordan Hicks to the back of the pitching order, while the other three members of the rotation minus Hudson remain in line to start on the previously scheduled days. Despite the postponement, Hudson still appears on track for a two-start week, unless the Cardinals' decide to add a temporary sixth starter to the mix. Following Tuesday's outing, Hudson would pick up his second start of the season Sunday in Milwaukee.
