Diamondbacks starting pitcher Daniel Hudson threw 74 pitches in his extended spring training outing Wednesday, and may only need a few starts in the minors before he is ready to return to the majors. General manager Kevin Towers would not confirm as much, but he did not deny it.
"We'll see how it goes," Towers told the Arizona Republic.
Towers did say he expects Hudson to begin his minor-league rehabilitation assignment Tuesday, June 4, at Double-A Mobile.
Hudson has been sidelined since last June, after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
