Scary....

Mariners manager Eric Wedge sustained what the club called a ''very mild stroke,'' but he was released from the hospital on Wednesday and is expected to make a full recovery.

The 45-year-old Wedge was hospitalized Monday when he complained about light-headedness during batting practice.
He missed the entire three-game series against Cleveland, but after a battery of tests was sent home from the hospital Wednesday afternoon, the Mariners said in a statement.

''We are happy to announce that Eric Wedge has been released from the hospital,'' the statement said. ''He is home with his family resting and feeling well.

''After much testing the doctors believe he suffered a very mild stroke. The doctors expect that he will have a full and complete recovery.''

Wedge, the Mariners manager since 2011, won't be in uniform for the Mariners' upcoming four-game series against Minnesota and he won't go on the next road trip to Boston and Baltimore.

''What he needs to do is stay home for a short period of time. We expect him to be back sooner than later,'' general manager Jack Zduriencik said. ''He's excited. He sounds normal. I talked to him and it sounds like everything is fine and he is ready to roll.

''We are going to err on the side of caution, and I think the common sense thing is to have Eric rest. It makes sense that he doesn't take this trip to the East Coast.''

Zduriencik said Wedge will be evaluated further the next 10 days.

Bench coach Robby Thompson will continue to fill in for Wedge, who was the Indians' manager from 2003-09.
''I'm sure there is a lot of concern out there,'' Thompson said. ''Eric is a very caring man and loves every one of those guys in that clubhouse. I think they have that in return for him.''

Zduriencik and Thompson addressed the team and provided an update on Wedge after the Mariners' 10-1 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday.

''Any situation like this that arises, there is concern,'' Thompson said. ''We put our hearts, thoughts and prayers into him and Kate and their extended families.

''Fortunately, it was a mild stroke but from here they know what to work with and what to do with him to work his way back.''

Seattle shortstop Brendan Ryan stressed that Wedge should take his time and not try to rush back to the dugout.
''Come back in his own time,'' Ryan said. ''We will be thinking of him and he will be with us, so the sooner he gets back the better.

''We just wish him the best, speedy recovery.''

Wedge has been a staunch supporter of many of the Mariners' younger players, and now they are offering their support to him.

''It's not just me. It's a lot of guys in here,'' first baseman Justin Smoak said. ''A lot of guys, and he's stuck with us a long time now. He's going to get through this, and we look forward to have him back.''

Tim Hudson got stepped on at first, and I'm guessing broken ankle or foot.... scary play And he's in lots of pain on the ground.

Calling in a cart now.

Liriano's turnaround has really surprised me, not that he could get any worse than he was for the last 4 or 5 years, but damn, he's been nasty.

Ouch Blue Jays. Blow the lead in the 9th and give up 5 in the 10th?

And Hudson's time with the Braves is over

#Braves Hudson has fractured ankle, will have surgery in Atlanta when swelling goes down. Done for the year.

Now I've found out why A-Rod might get the Pete Rose treatment:

The Yankees expect Rodriguez to be accused of using PEDs over multiple seasons, of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, of attempting to obstruct MLB's investigation, and of not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada.

And there goes our starting rotation down the drain. This injury will basically force the Braves to make a deal for a starter.

I knew his season was over when I saw it happen. Given his age, that might be the last we see of Hudson playing MLB. He had lost the great stuff he had with Oakland, but Hudson gave everything he had to the Braves since being traded to them. If the bullpen wasn't so overworked lately, my guess is that Hudson isn't even pitching in the 8th inning today. He was over 100 pitches and that has been his de facto limit for years.

You and everyone else, he's easily become one of baseballs most hated players...

I've never liked him. When SI had that article on Nomar, A-Rod, and Jeter, I was pissed they would put those two in the same paragraph as the Captain. I knew that Jeter would stand on top of that pyramid when it was all said and done.
