Tim Hudson out for season on fractured ankle

NEW YORK -- Tim Hudson had to be carted off the field Wednesday when he suffered a leg injury that can only be described as hard to watch.

The 38-year-old Atlanta Braves pitcher was in the midst of a stellar outing (7.2 innings pitched, 2 earned runs, 9 strikeouts) against the New York Mets when he ran to cover first base on a routine play.

Hudson reeled in the catch to record the out in plenty of time, but Mets left fielder Eric Young Jr. stepped on Hudson's right ankle/foot while running out the play. 

Hudson almost instantaneously crumpled to the ground as his ankle bent at nearly an 90-degree angle. 

Right before they took Hudson off the field, Young shook Hudson's hand. Both players then left the field in tears. 

Young later told reporters that he told Hudson he was sorry, that it was an accident and he didn't mean to hurt him. He said Hudson told him to keep his head up and to keep playing the game the hard way, the right way, and that there was nothing he could do about it. 

Hudson is out for the season - a huge loss for the ball club.  

Of course, tweets poured in following the injury.

Chipper Jones tweeted, "Hoping and praying for the best possible news for Huddy! Didn't look good but hopefully not as bad as video showed. Luh ya bruh!"

Atlanta Braves radion reporter Kevin McAlpin wrote, "Subdued #Braves clubhouse post game. Many players asking us if we heard any updates. Tim Hudson loved & respected by his teammates."
