The Padres won their game against the Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon, but they might well have lost their second baseman ... again. From Bill Center (via Sign On San Diego):
Orlando Hudson Injury: Hamstring Barks Again
Just seven games back from the disabled list, Orlando Hudson suffered a left groin injury Wednesday afternoon while running out a seventh-inning infield single.
How bad is the second baseman injured?
"No questions today," said Hudson as he dressed. "No questions."
You can understand Hudson’s frustration, though. His infield single -- the one that got him hurt -- was just his second hit in 21 at-bats since coming off the DL, and now he’s looking at carrying a .217 batting average into June.
When Hudson was out before, second base was manned by Alberto Gonzalez and Eric Patterson, both of whom are somehow hitting less than .217 ... and it's not like either are hitting oodles of home runs, either. But there's really nobody else available, so it looks like more Gonzatterson for a couple of weeks unless Hudson's hammy is in better shape than his mood.
