ANAHEIM -- Atlanta supervisor Fredi Gonzalez declared prior to Sunday's rubber match in opposition to the Angels that Tim Hudson would skip his up coming scheduled start off on Wednesday in Pittsburgh as a result of a stiff again. Hudson flew again to Atlanta on Sunday, and Gonzalez said he'd be examined by crew medical professionals on Monday being a precautionary measure. 

Following Hudson's commence on Friday, in which he gave up 8 runs in 3 2/3 innings, Gonzalez explained Hudson was hampered by just a little back again stiffness. In the time, equally Hudson and Gonzalez gave no indication that a begin was in jeopardy. But on Sunday, the Braves decided to consider a much more cautious method. 

"We want to make certain he calms down -- the stiffness and stuff like that," explained Gonzalez, who also indicated Hudson was not struggling with back spasms. 

A trip to the disabled checklist for Hudson, who will continue being in Atlanta during the Braves' trip to Pittsburgh, seems unlikely -- and he's scheduled to pitch again May possibly thirty versus San Diego. 

Because Hudson tossed a one-hit shutout versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Could four, he's 0-2 having a 7.47 ERA in his very last 3 begins. 

The Braves plan to phone up left-hander Mike Minor from Triple-A Gwinnett for Wednesday's spot within the rotation. To make space for Minor around the active roster, it really is most likely the Braves will selection one with the further relievers they've carried whilst utilizing a four-man rotation the previous week. 

Minor also is scheduled to begin in opposition to San Diego on Could 31, when the Braves will require a fifth starter yet again following a slew of off-days. Small was optioned to Gwinnett on April 8. He's 2-2 which has a two.56 ERA in eight commences within the Minors this year.

ANAHEIM -- Tommy Hanson expects to possess combined feelings as he watches Sunday's rubber match versus the Angels. 

Around the one particular hand, he wishes the Braves to get the three-game Interleague sequence. But he does not automatically want their good results to come with the cost of lifelong friend Tyler Chatwood, who received the start for your Angels. 

Hanson and Chatwood's families have a very extended history together -- Hanson's grandfather coached Chatwood's dad in youth baseball -- and Hanson has known Chatwood considering that the 21-year-old right-hander was born.
