Miami — Elbow tightness forced Braves pitcher Tim Hudson to leave after six scoreless innings of Wednesday night's victory against the Florida Marlins. He'll be reevaluted Thursday.
Hudson (11-7) allowed only three hits and one walk with six strikeouts, and threw 47 strikes in 68 pitches. He was shown on the TV broadcast pointing to his right elbow in the dugout after the sixth inning.

If Hudson can't make his next scheduled start Tuesday against St. Louis, it's possible that Mike Hampton could be activated from the disabled list to replace him. Hampton has been out all season recovering from pectoral muscle strains and, most recently, a groin strain.
Hampton hasn't pitched in a major-league game in 35 months, but said after a bullpen session Tuesday that his arm felt good and that he told the Braves he was ready to pitch if his scheduled bullpen test Sunday went without incident.
