ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves have optioned right-hander
Cory Gearrin to Triple-A Gwinnett to clear a roster spot for Tim
Hudson to come off the disabled list and start in Sunday's game
against Pittsburgh.
Hudson is making his season debut after recovering from surgery
in November to repair a herniated disc in his back. The
right-hander had discomfort in his back the past two seasons, and
the surgery was scheduled after the pain became worse during his
offseason workouts.
Hudson was 16-10 with a 3.22 ERA last season. He allowed one run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings in his final rehab start with
Gwinnett.
Gearrin was recalled on Tuesday when struggling right-hander
Jair Jurrjens was sent to Gwinnett. Gearrin did not appear in a
game with Atlanta.
