Hamstring
May 28, 2024
Triple-A Rochester placed Wood on its 7-day injured list Tuesday with right hamstring tightness, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wood tweaked the hamstring during a game last Thursday and has been sidelined ever since. It's not clear how much more time the top prospect might miss, but his move to the IL means that he won't be a candidate for a major-league promotion in the short term. Wood, 21, is slashing a robust .355/.465/.596 with nine home runs, 10 stolen bases and a 37:35 K:BB over 45 games with Rochester this season.
