Hudson will serve as the opening pitcher during Wednesday's game against the Royals, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Hudson has been one of the White Sox's most reliable bullpen arms this season, turning in a 3.03 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 65.1 innings, but he'll now be called upon to lock down the first inning of Wednesday's contest. Erick Fedde is expected to pitch in bulk relief once Hudson leaves the game.

White Sox's Tristan Peters: On bench again Tuesday
Rotowire
Peters (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
It's the third straight absence due to a bruised left shoulder for Peters, who sustained the injury on a collision with the outfield wall Friday versus Detroit. Brenton Doyle is picking up another start in center field and is batting seventh against Kansas City lefty Daniel Lynch.
White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Enduring tough September
Rotowire
Benintendi went 0-for-2 on Sunday against the Tigers.
Benintendi grounded out and struck out before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the fourth inning. The performance prolonged his sluggish September, as he now has hit .105 with three doubles, two RBI and six runs scored across 16 games. Benintendi also hasn't been in the lineup since July 22 against a lefty, making it difficult to trust him for volume or quality performance down the stretch.
Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.
Antonacci tallied a steal in the first inning before driving in two on a double in the fourth. It was a solid effort in what has been a tough second half for the rookie, who's posted a .698 OPS overall in 60 contests since the All-Star break. On the season, he's slashing .270/.363/.391 with eight homers, 48 RBI, 76 runs scored and 19 stolen bases across 534 plate appearances.

The 25-year-old has gone hitless in four of his past 10 games, but he has managed five extra-base hits, seven RBI and nine runs scored in that span. For the year, he's slashing .268/.343/.401 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 87 runs scored and four steals across 629 plate appearances.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Early hook in no-decision
Rotowire
Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.1 scoreless innings.
Martin threw 43 of 70 pitches for strikes with 11 whiffs while keeping the Tigers off the board but departed before he could qualify for a potential win. The 29-year-old has been excellent while working on a limited workload in September, yielding just two earned runs through four outings this month while averaging just over 72 pitches per appearance in that span. He'll carry a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 121:45 K:BB across a career-high 145.1 innings into his last matchup of the regular season at home against the Rockies next weekend.
The White Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
Murphy made four appearances after rejoining the big-league club Sept. 9. Over 33 games with the White Sox this season, Murphy is sporting a 3-0 record, 4.81 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB over 33.2 innings. With Huascar Brazoban (lat) returning from the 15-day IL, Murphy was the odd man out for an active roster spot.
