Arizona Republic: [Orlando] Hudson has torn ligament

Diamondbacks second baseman Orlando Hudson said tests performed Thursday revealed a torn ligament in his left thumb and he hopes the injury won’t sideline him long.

“Nothing to worry about, just maybe a couple of days,” he said.

Hudson, who visited hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan and underwent an MRI exam, injured the thumb while sliding headfirst into third base in the seventh inning of Tuesday night’s game.

Hudson, who played in his first All-Star Game this year, said he is determined to return quickly. “I’ve got to get in there someway, somehow to help the team win,” he said.

Diamondbacks officials declined comment.

Given those comments, with the Cardinals travelling to Arizona, if Hudson is seen talking to Ankiel, THAT’S going to set some tongues wagging…  :P
