The Diamondbacks and pitcher Daniel Hudson are in contract discussions, MLB.com reports. The two sides would avoid arbitration if they could agree to a deal, and the team has until Monday to decide whether to offer the pitcher arbitration.

"Hopefully we'll get something done in the next few days or over the weekend," Hudson said. "Obviously my wife and I have our roots set down here. We'd like to be here for the long run, and I'd like to have a long career with the Diamondbacks."

Hudson is recovering from multiple Tommy John surgeries, last pitching in 2012 before re-injuring his elbow in June. He's planning to wait until about six months after the most recent surgery to begin throwing.
