Alex Wood Stats

San Francisco Giants starter Alex Wood (back) has progressed well in his recovery from a lower back strain, throwing a 53-pitch rehab outing with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. MLB.com reports that the 32-year-old is scheduled for a bullpen session later this week, and if everything goes to plan, he could rejoin the club for their weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Wood's been on the injured list twice this year already, and his latest ailment forced him to the IL on June 4. Across 30 inning and seven starts in 2023, the former second-round pick owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 21.4% strikeout rate. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable dropping Wood in most formats, especially given his injury history.

San Francisco Giants left-handed pitcher Alex Wood (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a lower back strain. Wood didn't look very sharp in his last outing when he coughed up six earned runs over 4 1/3 innings against the Pirates and has looked mediocre overall this season with a 4.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP (30 innings). Wood has no timetable for his return at the moment. Right-handed pitcher Tristan Beck was recalled from Triple-Sacramento in a corresponding move.

San Francisco Giants left-hander Alex Wood (hamstring) made his first minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday and allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits while walking none and striking out one in 3 2/3 innings pitched. It was Wood's first game action since he injured his hamstring on April 18, so the 32-year-old southpaw will likely make at least several more rehab appearances before being activated from the 15-day injured list to rejoin San Fran's starting rotation. Wood should remain stashed in all fantasy formats, as he had a nice 1.80 ERA (3.55 FIP), 1.40 WHIP, six walks and 11 strikeouts in 10 innings in his first three starts before getting hurt.
