The DBacks learned over the weekend they will play the rest of the year (and perhaps playoffs) without second baseman Orlando Hudson. He's injured with what was described as a left thumb injury.

So this is a pretty big hit to Arizona. But will it prevent them from winning the division?

It's a torn ligament in his left thumb - he will indeed miss the rest of the year after undergoing surgery on Monday. Huge blow for Arizona. Not only is Hudson a two-time Gold Glover, he's been pretty darn good at the plate as well this year, batting .294 with 10 homers and 63 RBI.
