Good morning, baseball fans! There was news yesterday about Alex Wood’s possible return from the unspecified injured list after he tested positive for COVID-19. Wood had considerable symptoms, and has been recovering slowly. Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Gabe Kapler says that Wood has “turned” the corner, however, and is hoping to be ready to throw off the mound by this weekend.
COVID-19 is anything but predictable in terms of recovery time, but hopefully that time table is accurate and we’ll be seeing him back on the field soon.
Wood has asked that the team not reveal his vaccination status.
