Tim Hudson was at the hospital for five hours and needed five bags of IV fluids Friday night after cramping up during his start. He was back in the Braves' clubhouse Saturday and will be fine, though he admits he's a little tired. Hudson will start the team's regular season finale if they haven't clinched the NL Wild Card by then.

Tim Hudson was sent to a local hospital to receive fluids after cramping during Friday's start against the Nationals. Hudson was pulled from Friday's start against the Nationals in the bottom of the sixth inning. It's not considered serious, so he should be fine if the Braves need him for the season finale next Wednesday against the Phillies.

Tim Hudson left Friday's start against the Nationals in the bottom of the sixth inning with a possible injury to upper arm or shoulder. The exact nature or severity of the injury isn't yet known, but he just didn't look right physically after giving up a double to Mike Morse earlier in the inning. Hudson yielded three runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings while striking out four and walking none. We'll likely learn more about his status following the game.

Tim Hudson struck out 10 over eight shutout innings in a 1-0 win over the Mets on Saturday. Hudson gave up just four hits (all singles) and two walks. It was his first double-digit strikeout game of the season and the 12th of his career. The brilliant outing improved his ERA from 3.32 to 3.19 on the year. He'll get the Nationals next week.

Tim Hudson couldn't stop the bleeding for the Braves Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings in a loss to the Cardinals. He also hit a pair of batters, both of whom scored in the decisive five-run third inning for the Cardinals. Hudson has scuffled a little bit of late, failing to produce a quality start in three of his last four outings. He'll take a 3.32 ERA and 1.14 WHIP into next weekend's start against the Mets.

Tim Hudson gave up four runs on six hits and four walks over six innings of work in a loss Tuesday to the Phillies. The non-quality start was Hudson's second in his last 15 outings. Coming into the start, he had allowed three or fewer earned runs in 15 of 16 starts. He's a good bet to bounce-back this weekend when he takes on the Cardinals.

Tim Hudson had no trouble holding the Nationals in check Thursday, limiting them to just one run on five hits and two walks over six innings of work in the 5-2 win. The only blemish on Hudson was a solo shot that he served up to Jayson Werth. He threw only 87 pitches, but Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez decided to pinch-hit for his starter in the bottom of the sixth with a scoring opportunity at hand. It's the 15th time in his last 16 starts that Hudson has allowed three or fewer earned runs, and he moved to 14-8 on the year while lowering his ERA to 3.05 and WHIP to 1.11. He'll face the Phillies next week.

Tim Hudson allowed four runs on 11 hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings on Friday, getting badly out-dueled by Chris Capuano in Atlanta's 6-0 loss to the Mets. The non-quality start was Hudson's first in 13 outings, and drops him to 13-8 on the season. He's a good bet to bounce-back next weekend when he takes on the Dodgers.
