Tim Hudson said Tuesday that he screw removed from his right ankle last week and is on track to have a normal spring training. Hudson made the comments during his introductory conference call with the Giants on Tuesday. The 38-year-old posted a 3.97 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 131 1/3 innings for the Braves this past season before fracturing his ankle in July, but it's expected to be a non-factor in 2014.
