Less Optimism

The Diamondbacks are now talking about surgery for Orlando Hudson.

Hudson learned Thursday that he has a torn ligament in his left thumb. Team officials said they will wait until Sunday to see if rest and treatment will allow him to return this season. But, at this point, season-ending surgery appears to be the most likely route.

"We're going to give it a couple of days, regroup and make a decision on Sunday," General Manager Josh Byrnes said. "(Surgery) is a scenario, no doubt."

Offensively, Hudson's created the second most runs on the team behind Eric Byrnes. This isn't a great offensive team to begin with, so a loss of Hudson for the rest of the season makes the Diamondbacks even more dependent on their pitching.
