6 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Dakota Hudson was removed from his Triple-A start on Wednesday. He was seen getting hugs from the manager and teammates after his removal, but reports are saying it's more likely that Hudson is called up rather than traded. Hudson is ranked as the third best prospect in the Cardinals' organization and the 100th best prospect in all of baseball by MLB Pipeline. He holds an impressive 13-2 record with a 2.36 ERA and a 87/37 K/BB ratio in 2018. Why Hudson was removed is still not known and surely the team will update his status shortly. It seems that he could be making a spot start for St. Louis, but with the trade deadline near you can never be certain.--Dan Fappiano
