Hudson (COVID-19 protocols) joined the Padres at Petco Park on Saturday and threw a light bullpen session, per MLB.com.
Hudson remains on the COVID-19-related injured list, but it appears that he could be close to a return. The right-handed reliever was traded to San Diego on July 29 -- the same day he was placed on the IL. He has yet to pitch for his new team but could have a prominent role in the Padres' bullpen once activated. Hudson registered a 2.20 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 48:7 K:BB across 32.2 innings during his time with the Nationals this season.
