The Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday reinstated left-handed pitcher Alex Wood from the 10-day disabled list and optioned right-handed pitcher Brandon Morrow to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Wood, who missed 13 games due to SC joint inflammation in his neck/upper-back area, will make his ninth start of the season on Saturday evening against the Reds. Wood last pitched on May 26 against the Cubs, allowing just two hits over an even five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts while recording his sixth win of the season. He currently holds the longest scoreless streak in the majors, as he has tossed a career-high 25-1/3 scoreless innings.
