PITTSBURGH >> As the Dodgers roll along with the best record in baseball and a shot at the best record in major-league history, they will do so without their three best starting pitchers.
One night after revealing he has been dealing with the same sternoclavicular joint inflammation that landed him on the DL earlier this season, left-hander Alex Wood went back to the 10-day DL. Like Yu Darvish (back spasms) before him, Wood is expected to miss just one start.
“If we were three games up in the division, it’s something you’d fight through and that’s what I’ve been doing,” said Wood who admitted he has been trying to “manage” the SC joint issue through his past two starts.
