Braves starting pitcher Tim Hudson had his start moved back from Friday to Saturday due to some stiffness in his neck. According to MLB.com, the injury is not considered a serious at this time, and he should be able to pitch Saturday.
"I'm fine," Hudson said. "This time of year when you get an extra day, it's not a big deal. It can only be a good thing."
Hudson's neck has been an issue for more than a month, but it has yet to cost him a start. He did not begin receiving treatment until this week, as he has tried to find an answer for his 0-6 stretch over his last 10 starts.
"It was one of those things where about six weeks ago, you wake up in the hotel room and your neck feels [bad]," Hudson said. "Over the past six weeks, it's been a pain in the butt, or the neck."
