Atlanta Braves right-hander Tim Hudson underwent surgery to repair a herniated disc in his lower back on Monday.
The 36-year-old Hudson is expected to be ready in time for the start of spring training.
The club said that Hudson had been dealing with pain in his back for the past two seasons. The pain became worse during offseason workouts, leading to the procedure.
Hudson went 16-10 with a 3.22 ERA this past season. The 13-year-veteran is 181-97 with a 3.40 ERA for his career.
