The Atlanta Braves put right-hander Tim Hudson on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, forcing them to scramble their pitching plans before the start of a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. Hudson lasted only 2 2-3 innings Monday, giving up five runs in a 7-3 loss to Texas. It was his shortest start since 2001 with Oakland. Hudson had developed cramps in his previous start. The Braves said Hudson had a strained muscle in his left side. The right-hander is 6-5 with a 3.78 ERA in 14 starts.
