Texas Rangers relief pitcher Hunter Wood (elbow) exited Saturday's game due to right elbow tightness, according to Levi Weaver of The Athletic. Wood recorded two outs and allowed one walk before he left the game with a trainer. He was looking like a potential option in SV/HLD formats, as he had one hold in four appearances while posting a 4.15 ERA with five strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings of work this season. This injury won't affect most managers, but for those looking for solid middle relievers this injury will be a disappointment.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Hunter Wood will serve as the opener on Tuesday against the Dodgers. Wood has yet to allow a run in his five outings (7 1/3 innings) over one start for the Rays this year. He's walked one and struck out seven. He'll face a tough matchup against the Dodgers and is only likely to go an inning or two, so he should be avoided for fantasy purposes. Jalen Beeks figures to come in after Wood and throw the bulk of the innings on Tuesday.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Hunter Wood (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Wood missed the last two weeks due to right shoulder soreness. He's pitched 6 1/3 innings and has not allowed a run yet this year. He'll likely pitch in the middle relief most of the time, but should see spot starts as well. Wood probably won't have much fantasy value in most formats.
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed relief pitcher Hunter Wood(shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with right shoulder soreness and recalled pitcher Casey Sadler to replace him. Wood has appeared in four games thus far in 2019. Among the appearances were a three-inning save on April 8 and an opening act for Jalen Beeks on April 18. Wood has been effective, allowing no runs in 6 1/3 innings with one walk and seven strikeouts, but he is not fantasy relevant before or after the injury. Sadler has bounced up and down the majors and minors since 2014 and has a 6.23 career ERA in 21 2/3 innings.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Hunter Wood will make the start as the opener on Thursday against the Orioles. Wood has one save and has thrown four scoreless innings in his two relief outings for Tampa so far this year. He had a 3.73 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 4.0 K/9 in eight outings (three starts) in 2018. He's been an effective arm in small stints for the Rays, but he has no fantasy appeal as an opener and will likely only go a few innings against Baltimore.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Hunter Wood will start in place of Ryne Stanek on Monday versus Kansas City. Wood has been solid for the Rays this season, pitching to a 0-1 record with a 4.10 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and 31 K's in 26 1/3 innings. While Wood has a desirable matchup against Kansas City, he likely won't be able to provide much value to fantasy owners, as he is not likely to pitch deep into the game.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Hunter Wood will start on Thursday against the Angels, with reliever Jalen Beeks following him. The Rays will go with another bullpen game. Wood has a 3.38 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 in 11 games (three starts), but he won't go deep enough in this game to be a fantasy option.
Wilmer Font To 10-Day DL, Rays Call Up Hunter Wood
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Wilmer Font has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right lat strain and the team has called up right-handed pitcher Hunter Wood from Triple-A Durham. Wood appeared in one game in 2018, pitching two and two-thirds of an inning, allowing one run on four hits and a walk. Font was not fantasy relevant at all, and we don't expect Wood to be either, so this is a move you can safely ignore.
