Back in the early part of the month, Padres second baseman Orlando Hudson went on the disabled list with a hamstring strain. He missed the minimum amount of time and returned to play on Thursday, May 19. However, on Wednesday, May 25, he had to come out of a game with what looked to be an aggravation of the hamstring injury. It turns out that Hudson actually strained his groin, and not his hamstring, but that groin strain is still sending him back to the DL.
Orlando Hudson Returns To DL With Groin Injury
In Hudson's place, the Padres have again recalled infielder Logan Forsythe. Forsythe has posted an .848 OPS with AAA Tucson, but it's expected that the second base gig will be split between Eric Patterson and Alberto Gonzalez, just as it was the last time Hudson needed a break.
Hudson’s sitting on a miserable .604 OPS, and though he isn’t that bad of a hitter, he now won’t get a chance to improve his numbers until the middle of June, at the soonest.
