Twins activate Hudson from DL

Link

The Twins got good news on Friday, as Orlando Hudson's sprained left wrist was deemed healthy enough for him to be activated from the disabled list.

Hudson missed nine games and had been hitting left-handed off a tee before games, but his status was up in the air until Friday. The Twins have been cautious with Hudson's comeback since he was placed on the shelf June 8, retroactive to May 31.

Hudson, 32, was hitting .305 at the time of his injury with three homers and 16 RBIs.

In a corresponding roster move, the Twins moved left-hander Jose Mijares to the family medical emergency list. The reliever traveled to Venezuela following Thursday's contest to deal with a family matter.
