Both Duralde and Andrews evaluated the MRI that Hudson underwent on Monday and recommended "Tommy John" ligament replacement surgery that would likely keep the 33-year-old hurler on the shelf until August of next year. |

Teixeira, of course, is the same player that Atlanta acquired at last year's trade deadline from Texas along with pitcher Ron Mahay for five prospects |
