LOS ANGELES -- Alex Wood spent the entirety of this past weekend battling a stomach virus that caused him to miss Friday night's scheduled start against the Brewers. But when the Braves southpaw started feeling better on Monday, he immediately began looking forward to Wednesday night's start against the Dodgers.
"Each day has been a little bit better," Wood said prior to Tuesday night's matchup at Dodger Stadium. "I threw a bullpen yesterday and played catch today. I think by tomorrow night I'll be ready to go."
Wood exited Turner Field feeling sick on Thursday night and saw his condition worsen overnight.
