CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Red Sox have "checked in" on Tim Hudson. Heyman notes that the Sox are "big admirers" of Hudson and was told by one person familiar with the club's thinking that they "really want him." However, the Braves want to bring Hudson back, and Heyman thinks it's "a little hard to imagine" him leaving Atlanta. The Royals and Indians are also known to have interest in the veteran right-hander.

According to MLB.com's Mark Bowman, Tim Hudson has already been contacted by approximately 10 teams. Bowman says the Royals and Indians are "the clubs that have shown the most interest so far." Hudson, 38, posted a 3.97 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 95/36 K/BB ratio in 131 1/3 innings (21 starts) this summer before fracturing his right ankle. He is hoping to play 2-3 more seasons.

Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca was told by agent Paul Cohen that his client, Tim Hudson, hopes to play for 2-3 more seasons. Hudson is 38 and coming off a fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament, but that won't keep him from seeking a multi-year deal this winter. He is expected to be healthy for spring training and the Braves have expressed interest in retaining him. Hudson posted a solid 3.97 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 95/36 K/BB ratio in 131 1/3 innings this season for Atlanta before undergoing surgery in late July.

Braves GM Frank Wren indicated interest Monday in re-signing veteran right-hander Tim Hudson. Hudson is currently scheduled to become a free agent in early November. The 38-year-old starter posted a solid 3.97 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 95/36 K/BB ratio in 131 1/3 innings this season for Atlanta before undergoing surgery in late July to repair a fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament. He is expected to be ready for the start of spring training and probably has a few good years left.

Braves transferred RHP Tim Hudson from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Hudson underwent surgery in late July to repair a fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament. The 38-year-old impending free agent right-hander is hoping to be ready for the start of spring training next February.

Tim Hudson (ankle) said he expects to be "totally healed" by December. Hudson underwent ankle surgery in late July and will miss the rest of the season. The 38-year-old right-hander will likely have to settle for a one-year incentive-laden deal in free agency, but should be fully healthy for spring training in 2014.

Tim Hudson underwent successful surgery to repair a fractured fibula and deltoid ligament. He's expected to need around four months to completely recover from the injury. A free agent at the end of the season, it's possible that the 38-year-old veteran has thrown his last pitch as a member of the Braves.

Braves placed RHP Tim Hudson on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right ankle. Hudson suffered the gruesome ankle fracture Wednesday when the Mets' Eric Young Jr. stepped flush across his leg at the first base bag. The veteran right-hander will undergo surgery when some of the swelling subsides and is not going to pitch again this season.

Tim Hudson will have season-ending surgery for a fractured right ankle that he suffered in Wednesday's win over the Mets. Terrible. Hudson suffered the ailment on a gruesome play at first base when the Mets' Eric Young lunged to the bag and landed right on the pitcher's foot. He will undergo surgery once the swelling goes down. Hudson just turned 38 and will be a free agent after this season. The Braves will surely plug Brandon Beachy into his rotation spot next week.

Tim Hudson had to be carted off the field with a right foot injury after the Mets' Eric Young stepped on him at first base in Wednesday's game. It was a gruesome injury, as Hudson's ankle looked like it might have been dislocated. Hudson, understandably, was in a ton of pain before the cart came to get him and take him off the field. It looked like a possible season-ending injury, but we'll just have to wait for further updates.
