Pitcher Tim Hudson had to leave Sunday's game in the seventh inning with a strained left hamstring. Hudson had just made a pitch to Edwin Encarnacion when he came up hobbling. He will be re-evaluated Monday in Atlanta.

Six batters later, reliever Blaine Boyer had to come out of the game with an undisclosed injury. Manager Bobby Cox and assistant trainer Jim Lovell came onto the field after Boyer finished awkwardly on a pitch to Brandon Phillips.
