Travis Wood News
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Travis Wood left Thursday's game against the Braves with a left knee sprain, but manager Ron Gardenhire says that things don't "look very good," leading to speculation that it could be more serious than a sprain. The 31-year-old pitcher had a rough go of things last year with the Royals and Padres, pitching to a 6.81 ERA on the year. Results of Wood's MRI could be known as early as Friday morning.
Detroit Tigers pitcher Travis Wood (knee) has a torn ACL and medical meniscus, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. He is weighing surgical options at the moment, but this is not good for the future for Wood. While he left Thursday's game with what was characterized as a "left knee sprain," manager Ron Gardenhire says that things did not "look very good," leading to speculation that it could be more serious than a sprain. Gardenhire's fears were confirmed, as Wood only made it through one outing in spring training. The 31-year-old pitcher had a rough go of things last year with the Royals and Padres, pitching to a 6.81 ERA on the year. He is likely done for the 2018 season, giving a boost to Daniel Norris' rotation hopes.
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Travis Wood has been diagnosed with a left knee sprain. Wood suffered the injury Thursday in a rundown between second and third base while making his Grapefruit League debut against the Braves. He figures to undergo an MRI before the Tigers try to map out a recovery timetable. The veteran left-hander was expected to compete for a spot in Detroit's starting rotation this spring, but that plan will likely have to be scrapped.
