The Dodgers intend to re-insert Alex Wood in the starting rotation this weekend against Cincinnati. The exact date of his return has not been determined, manager Dave Roberts said before Tuesday’s game against the Washington Nationals.
Wood, who has a record of 6-0 with a 1.69 earned-run average, has not pitched since May 26 as he recovers from inflammation in his sternum. He has not allowed a run in his last 25 1/3 innings.
Rich Hill is scheduled to pitch Friday. Wood will start either Saturday or Sunday. To fill the other spot, the team probably will form a tandem between Hyun-Jin Ryu and Kenta Maeda.
