Alex Wood Stats

San Francisco Giants left-handed pitcher Alex Wood (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement. Wood said that the shoulder really started bugging him three starts ago, but he has been feeling pain for quite a while. That tracks, as Wood has a 13.86 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over his last three starts. Yikes. Manager Gabe Kapler said the team will evaluate whether or not it makes sense to ramp Wood back up, so this could be a season-ender for the lefty. Either way, he can be dropped in all redraft fantasy leagues.

San Francisco Giants left-hander Alex Wood cruised through the majority of his start against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning of the game before running into some trouble. In total, he wound up pitching 6 2/3 innings and allowing two hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out three. He earned the win to improve his record to 7-8 on the year. This was just his second quality start over his last eight outings. Across 20 total starts this year, he owns a 4.11 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. His next trip to the mound will be on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The San Francisco Giants are finalizing a deal with left-handed starting pitcher Alex Wood which will tie him to the team for two more seasons. The contract will be for at least $20 million dollars in total. Wood spent the 2021 season with the club, providing 138 2/3 innings across 26 starts with a 3.83 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 152 strikeouts. He had only managed 48 1/3 innings in the previous two seasons. Wood provides plenty of value as a fantasy asset, especially given his strong strikeout rate, but the concern will always be his health. He'll be a risk/reward option come draft time.
