The Angels reassigned Hudson to minor-league camp Tuesday.
Hudson tossed two scoreless innings over his lone Cactus League appearance, but he wasn't a serious contender for an Opening Day roster spot after submitting a lowly 6.17 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over his 18 big-league starts with the Rockies in 2024. Assuming he doesn't elect free agency, Hudson will likely open the season as a member of the Triple-A Salt Lake rotation.

The Angels signed Hudson to a minor-league contract Monday, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.
Hudson posted an ugly 6.17 ERA in 18 starts this past season for the Rockies. The 30-year-old holds a 5.08 ERA and 1.53 WHIP since the start of the 2022 season and seems likely to begin the 2025 campaign as rotation depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Dakota Hudson: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Hudson elected free agency Friday.
The Rockies removed Hudson from their 40-man roster and he's choosing free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to the minors. Essentially, it's a way for the club to non-tender the right-hander early, as Colorado was unlikely to offer Hudson a raise via arbitration after the righty posted a 6.17 ERA in 18 starts this season. Hudson ended the season on the injured list with right elbow inflammation but should be healthy by spring training.
The Rockies transferred Hudson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Removing Hudson from the 40-man roster allows the Rockies to add Jaden Hill. Hudson is now officially done for the season with right elbow inflammation, and he's a likely non-tender candidate this offseason after posting a 6.17 ERA in 18 starts.
