The Detroit Tigers get ready for their exhibition game against the New York Yankees with some batting practice and grounders on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018, in Tampa, Fla.
LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers pitcher Travis Wood’s short spring is over.
It began with a right index finger injury after a bow and arrow accident and ended on Thursday afternoon as a major left knee injury after the veteran left-hander limped painfully off the field.
The Tigers’ worst fears were realized: Wood tore the ACL and meniscus in his left knee and is weighing surgical options, according to the team.
