Alex Wood was placing clothes inside of his locker at Great American Ball Park on Monday morning, the first time he’s sat in the home clubhouse since he took a visit to meet front office staff in January. Wood will remain with the Reds at home and on the road until he’s ready for a rehab assignment.

Sidelined with lower back spasms since spring training, Wood began a throwing program last week.
