The Diamondbacks want to bring back injured starting pitcher Daniel Hudson next season, the Arizona Republic reports.

Hudson has not and will not pitch this year due to multiple Tommy John surgeries. He is arbitration eligible for the first time in 2014, and so the Diamondbacks will likely have to get creative to keep him. The club could use a contract with incentives for games played or a multi-year deal to get it done. It's unclear at this point if Hudson will even be able to pitch in 2014 due to his recovery.
