Hudson rests sore ankle Wednesday: Diamondbacks 2B Orlando Hudson missed Wednesday's game against the Cubs after getting hit on the ankle with a pitch Tuesday. X-rays came back negative, according to MLB.com. "It was scary. It hit him right on that bone," manager Bob Melvin said. "The first thing you're thinking is potentially a crack or a fracture. That's the first piece of good news. The second piece of good news is that he's not near as bad as I thought he'd be (Wednesday). I thought he would have trouble walking today, but he's moving around all right." (Updated 07/24/2008).
