Kerry Wood was scratched today and plans were scuttled to have him pitch one inning each day on Wednesday and Thursday.
Wood's lower back spasms are something fans have seen before. Presumably, it is nothing to worry about. However, it's Kid K we're talking about and any injury setback, no matter how minor, pushes us closer to the ledge.
The team did not have Wood seen by a specialist. I don't think it was warranted either (you know, I'm not a doctor, I just pretend). However, you might want to treat this pitcher with a little more caution than you would a newborn baby.
So, the last hurdle for Wood's transition to closer (pitching back to back games) is on hold. Does this guy have some bad hoodoo or what?
Other concerns were allayed when Fukudome suffered no major problems from being hit in the neck by a thrown ball while trying to steal a base. Cintron, on the other hand, is now suffering a sore hammy and will be rested a few days.
