Tim Hudson (ankle) is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Friday in Giants camp. Hudson is working his way back from last year's ankle surgery and taking a slow but steady approach to his spring throwing program. He is expected to be 100 percent healthy when the 2014 regular season begins and is a worthy late-round grab in deep mixed league drafts. The veteran right-hander had a 3.97 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 95 strikeouts in 131 1/3 innings last year with the Braves.
