Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said he could give Tim Hudson some extra rest down the stretch or possibly skip his last start altogether before the postseason. Hudson will get the ball Sunday and is lined up to start Game 1 of the NLDS, assuming the Braves get there. The team has a few options for a potential spot start in Ben Sheets, Randall Delgado and Julio Teheran.

Tim Hudson picked up his 15th win Monday despite a less than stellar effort, as he allowed four runs on 10 hits over just five innings in a 7-5 victory over the Marlins. The Braves staked Hudson to a 6-0 lead after three and a half innings, but the veteran righty gave much of it back in a four-run fourth, which included five hits. Hudson has been a little hit or miss of late, as he's given up at least four runs in five of his last eight starts. He'll bring a 3.77 ERA and 1.26 WHIP into Philly this weekend.

Tim Hudson pitched seven sterling innings and combined with three relievers on a 1-0 shutout of the Rockies on Thursday. Coming off his first loss since July 1, Hudson rebounded with his 14th win today after Peter Moylan, Eric O'Flaherty and Craig Kimbrel finished the shutout. Hudson is 8-1 in his last 12 starts, and his ERA sits at 3.59.

Tim Hudson pitched seven innings of one-run ball to beat the Giants on Sunday night. Hudson was very sharp tonight, getting 21 outs with just 82 pitches. He never allowed an extra-base hit, and he retired eight in a row before finally giving up a run in the seventh. He improved to 7-0 in his last 10 starts and 13-4 with a 3.57 ERA for the season.

Tim Hudson gave up a four spot in the first inning Monday but gutted it out for six frames, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks in a loss to the Nationals. Hudson certainly deserves credit for bowing his neck and keeping the Braves in the game. It's his third non-quality start in his last five tries, though he didn't give up any runs in the other two outings. He'll take a solid 3.69 ERA and 1.22 WHIP into San Francisco this weekend.

Tim Hudson was terrific in Tuesday's victory over the Padres, scattering just two hits and a walk over 6 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out four. Hudson left in the seventh after allowing a one-out single to Yonder Alonso, who was stranded by the Braves bullpen. The 36-year-old right-hander is enjoying another extremely solid season, compiling a 12-4 record, 3.59 ERA and 79/35 K/BB ratio over his 128 innings of work. He'll attempt to carry over the momentum from this strong outing when he takes on the Nationals in Washington on Monday.

Tim Hudson didn't have it against the Phillies Wednesday, allowing six runs on six hits, three walks and two home runs in 4 1/3 innings, but he got bailed out by his offense in Atlanta's 12-6 victory. Hudson struck out four in the no-decision, just his second non-quality outing in his past five starts. He'll have a good chance at getting back on track in his Tuesday home tilt with the Padres, where he'll be sporting a 3.77 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 75/34 K/BB ratio at first pitch.

Tim Hudson pitched brilliantly in Friday's win over the Astros, allowing just one unearned run on four hits and two walks over 7 1/3 scoreless innings. Hudson struck out three in the game. All four hits that he did surrender were singles, and the Astros were never able to mount a serious threat against him. The one run that did come across scored on an RBI groundout from J.D. Martinez in the sixth inning after Ben Francisco had advanced on an error. Hudson will take an impressive 11-4 record and 3.45 ERA into Wednesday's matchup against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

Tim Hudson allowed two runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings Sunday, improving to 10-4 in Atlanta's 6-2 win over the Phillies. Hudson struck out five and walked none in failing to complete six innings of work for just the second time in seven starts. Through 110 innings on the season, he's now the owner of a 3.68 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 68/29 K/BB ratio. He'll get the free-falling Astros at home on Friday. Save for his injury-shortened 2009, Hudson has now notched at least 10 wins every year since 1999.

Tim Hudson pitched well in Tuesday's victory over the Marlins, allowing three runs over seven frames. Hudson fanned two and walked one. He allowed an RBI single to Hanley Ramirez in the first and a two-run homer to Jose Reyes in the second, but settled in nicely after that. Even at age 36, Hudson has been as solid as ever this season, posting a 9-4 record and 3.71 ERA over his first 16 starts. He'll look to keep things rolling when he squares off against these same Marlins at home on Monday.
