June 17, 200521 yr Braves put Hudson on disabled list June 16, 2005 CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves put right-hander Tim Hudson on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, forcing them to scramble their pitching plans before the start of a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. Hudson lasted only 2 2-3 innings Monday, giving up five runs in a 7-3 loss to Texas. It was his shortest start since 2001 with Oakland. Hudson had developed cramps in his previous start. The Braves said Hudson had a strained muscle in his left side. The right-hander is 6-5 with a 3.78 ERA in 14 starts. Right-hander Jorge Sosa will start in his place Saturday, moving up a day. Hudson's roster spot was taken by right-hander Jim Brower, who was released by San Francisco on Monday and signed with the Braves. He joined the team for the start of the series in Cincinnati. Updated on Thursday, Jun 16, 2005 5:32 pm EDT He won't be back for our visit to Atlanta next week, and would be eligible to come back during our homestand against them. So we miss him once and should get a rusty Hudson if he makes it back for our homestand.
June 17, 200521 yr Author We may be struggling with Beckett out and Leiter sucking wind, but the Braves are really in trouble. We need to do all we can to build a lead on them now.
June 17, 200521 yr All the Brave's misfortunes are foreshadowing there eventual winning of the division. :plain
June 17, 200521 yr The Braves always have someone they can call up and fill in adequately until the others return from the DL. You can't count them out of the division race just yet.
June 17, 200521 yr I hope this injury will hurt them and let us make up some ground in the division, but 3 starts isn't such a big deal, and they'll probably be able to deal with it.

You can't count them out? of the division race just yet. 813263[/snapback] His name is Kyle Davies - but they've already pulled that rabbit out of their ugly new Sunday hats 813346[/snapback] He got killed against the slugging Rangers. He's can't fill in adequately, even though he was facing the best hitting team in the majors.
