Solid outing could help Cubs' Wood solidify a rotation job

Despite losing 2-1 to the Houston Astros on Tuesday night for their eighth defeat in a row, the Chicago Cubs may have filled a black hole in their rotation. Left-hander Travis Wood came up from Class AAA Iowa for the second time this season, and for the second time, he was solid. Wood didn't get a quality start against the Astros, but he fell just short, lasting 5 2/3 innings...

Travis Wood Decent In Debut With Chicago Cubs

With Matt Garza out with the flu that is making its way around the Chicago Cubs locker room, the team was forced to call up Travis Wood to make his debut with the club. Wood was acquired in the deal that sent Sean Marshall to the Cincinnati Reds, and was expected to take one of a couple of vacant spots in the rotation. But his disastrous spring left him with a spot in Iowa. His stay...

Blake DeWitt DFA’d

The Cubs have DFA'd Blake DeWitt and re-caled Travis Wood who will start today against the Dodgers. I don't believe Berselius published a projection for Wood, but Oliver did project him to be worth 2.5 WAR at the time the Cubs traded Sean Marshall for him. Wood has had mixed results so far at Iowa. [...]

Dodgers avoid Graza again on Sunday

CHICAGO (AP) -- Travis Wood will start Sunday for the Chicago Cubs in place of Matt Garza, who was scratched for a second consecutive day due to a virus. Wood will make his Cubs debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers after going 1-3 with a 5.08 ERA at Triple-A Iowa this year.

Wells and Wood optioned to minors, Clevenger over Castillo

I'd much rather have seen Randy Wells in the Chicago Cubs rotation, but rather than bullpenning him the Cubs have at least done the only other smart thing possible by optioning him to the minors. Good call on that even if it's the result of other poor decisions. I've been saying for awhile that Steve Clevenger is the better catcher and better option to back-up Geovany...

Travis Wood Looks To Be Bound For Iowa Cubs

Travis Wood just can’t catch a break this spring. The Chicago Cubs came into spring camp with a massive competition for just two spots in their rotation. Matt Garza and Ryan Dempster had spots locked down, while newcomer Paul Maholm was penciled in as the first lefty in the rotation. That left a host of guys, including Wood, to battle for just two spots. Jeff Samardzija, Randy...

Travis Wood is to Pitching as Natalie Wood is to Swimming

Travis Wood sucks. He started the day with a 20.50 ERA. He was spotted a 7-0 lead before he took the mound. He left after allowing the game to be tied by the 3rd inning. His ERA now stands at 25.07. Don't talk to me about small sample sizes. He blows.
