The Diamondbacks, already playing without star outfielders Justin Upton and Chris Young, announced Saturday that right-hander Daniel Hudson has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with an "impingement" in his pitching shoulder. The move was made retroactive to Thursday, when Hudson made his last start.
The D-backs recalled right-hander Jonathan Albaladejo from Triple-A Reno to take Hudson's spot on the roster. Albaladejo, 29, was 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA and seven strikeouts in eight relief appearances with Reno. He limited opponents to an .087 average (2 for 23).
The 6-foot-5 right-hander spent the entire 2011 season with the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese Central League, going 2-2 with a 2.45 ERA and two saves in 46 games. Albaladejo is 6-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 63 career MLB relief appearances with the Nationals (2007) and Yankees (2008-10).
Hudson, 25, is 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA in three starts this year. He was hit hard in a loss in Colorado last week before bouncing back on Thursday at home against the Pirates, allowing two runs on six hits in 7 23 innings but taking the loss. He made no mention of shoulder pain after that start or any of his previous outings this year, including during a strong spring training.
Hudson will be eligible to come off the DL on May 4.
