Wood news

[badger1679666666]

Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood, who cut short his last throwing session because of some tightness under his arm, was scheduled to throw on the side Sunday and then leave for Florida to attend funeral services for his former pitching coach Oscar Acosta.

 

Acosta, who was a coach for a New York Yankees Minor League team, died this week in a car accident in the Dominican Republic.

 

If Wood passes Sunday's test, he will throw in a game on Wednesday at the Cubs' extended Spring Training facility. It does involve another team, and there are umpires, but it's not a rehab start.

Seems more promising but I think we're all desperate to get these pitchers back. We can hang in there with good pitching as Maddux showed today.

So I'm assuming that Sunday is today, for his side session.

 

Any reports?

Nothing on how he pitched today? Thought we'd have heard something by now.
