Chipper aggravates left groin injury

Chipper Jones’ return to the Braves’ lineup may have been further delayed on Wednesday night, when he aggravated his strained left groin muscle during an eighth-inning pinch-hit appearance.

After the Braves claimed their 6-5 walk-off win over the Mets, Jones revealed that he’d felt further discomfort while swinging and missing a pitch during his eighth-inning strikeout. The 37-year-old third baseman declared himself available to pinch-hit after taking numerous swings in the indoor batting cage.

“I’ll just take it day-by-day,” Jones said. “I took 100 swings [in the cage] and I didn’t feel it one time. That’s why I didn’t even think about it. But I guess there’s no simulating game-intensity swings. I’ll have to see how it feels tomorrow and see if I can play.”

Hudson earns key win for Braves in return

As he endured the grueling rehab process that followed Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery, there were times when Tim Hudson wondered if he’d possess his successful form once this day finally arrived.

Those bouts waged against anxiety and impatience proved to be distant memories by the time Hudson exited the mound at Land Shark Stadium on Tuesday night. His long wait proved fruitful courtesy of the impressive return he constructed while leading the Braves to a 4-3 win over the Marlins.

“I’m just happy for the opportunity to go out there and see my teammates behind me and see how happy they were for me to get back out there and compete,” Hudson said. “It’s been a while. It’s been a long, tough road. But it was very rewarding to go out there and give us a chance to win.”

Hudson to start for Braves on Monday

As Tim Hudson was traveling to the Atlanta airport on Thursday afternoon, he was anticipating making his final Minor League rehab start in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday night. But with one phone call, the Braves gave him clearance to abort that mission and prepare to fill Kenshin Kawakami’s spot in the starting rotation.

Hudson will return to the Major League scene on Monday night to face the Marlins. Ironically, his return will place him on the same Land Shark Stadium mound that he exited on July 23, 2008, without the knowledge that he was about a week away from Tommy John elbow ligament transplant surgery and 13 months away from delivering his next Major League pitch.
