Rays' Daniel Hudson: Doesn't crack Opening Day bullpen

Hudson was informed Sunday he wouldn't be included on the Rays' Opening Day roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hudson remains on the Rays' 40-man roster, but it's expected that he'll be traded or released by Tuesday. The right-hander, whom the Rays picked up earlier in the offseason as part of the Corey Dickerson trade, is due $5.5 million in salary this season. There likely won't be much of a market for Hudson's services after he was roughed up for nine earned runs on eight hits and five walks over 5.1 innings during the Grapefruit League schedule.
