DENVER -- Alex Wood, sent to the bullpen at the end of Spring Training, will start in place of Rich Hill on Monday against the Cubs, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed on Saturday. Hill is on the 10-day disabled list with a chronic finger blister.
Wood, whose lone appearance out of the bullpen during the week was two hitless innings against the Padres on Wednesday, wouldn't speculate on his role after Monday.
"It's just one start, but I'm happy to get it," said Wood. "I'll take advantage of the opportunity and whatever happens, happens.
