Alex Wood has a setback, return to Cincinnati Reds on hold
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alex Wood (40) long losses, Friday, Feb. 15, 2019, at the Cincinnati Reds spring training facility in Goodyear, Arizona.ST. LOUIS – Left-hander Alex Wood’s back injury has already kept him out longer than expected.
Now, the timetable is moving the wrong way. Wood, obtained in the seven-player trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, had a setback after his latest bullpen session in Goodyear, Arizona.
“His back didn’t respond quite as well as it had been,” Reds manager David Bell said. “I think he had his most encouraging day when he was in San Diego. But when he threw in the next session in Arizona, the next day it didn’t respond that well.”
