LAKELAND, Fla. -- Tigers left-hander Travis Wood had to wait a week for his Spring Training debut thanks to an injury on his non-throwing hand. His season is now likely over after one Grapefruit League inning after he blew out his left knee on a rundown play in Thursday's loss to the Braves.
Tests conducted at Lakeland's Watson Clinic revealed a torn ACL and medial meniscus, the Tigers announced Friday morning. Tigers medical staff and Wood are currently weighing his surgical options. A typical recovery timetable for such an injury is more than six months, likely ruling him out for the season.
