In light of the Los Angeles Dodgers place Rich Hill on the 10-day disabled list because of the chronic blister on his left middle finger, manager Dave Roberts confirmed Alex Wood has returned to the rotation. Wood is scheduled to start in Friday’s series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
He last pitched on April 15, firing 3.1 hitless innings against the Diamondbacks. By slotting Wood into the rotation on Friday, coupled with an off day during the week, Kenta Maeda will next start on six days’ rest.
