Wood (chest) will come off the DL to start Sunday in San Diego, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
He said the cortisone shot he received helped relieve the sternum joint inflammation he was dealing with. Wood will throw bullpen sessions Wednesday and Friday in advance of taking the ball in the series finale against the Padres. It is unreasonable to expect him to be the dominant ace who notched a 1.56 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 101 strikeouts over his first 86.2 innings this season, but he should still be quite serviceable down the stretch, especially for owners chasing wins.
