The middle game of this weekend’s series against the Reds starts with some very good news: Alex Wood has returned from the disabled list. Wood missed two starts with an inflamed AC joint (between collar bone and scapula) near his throwing shoulder. While it remains to be seen how it will impact him today, his return is welcomed with cautious optimism. The Reds lineup is a surprisingly difficult test to come back to (Wood did not pitch in any rehab games) so we’ll probably see any effects sooner rather than later.
