Wood (back) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
John Brebbia is slated to serve as the Giants' opening pitcher Friday and Logan Webb is locked in for Sunday. The Giants will presumably turn to Wood to fill the open spot in the rotation Saturday, assuming he endures no sudden complications with the back injury that has sidelined him since the beginning of June. He tossed three innings of one-run ball in a 53-pitch rehab start last Sunday at Triple-A Sacramento.
