Braves reliever Alex Wood could start again this year, according to MLB.com.
"It's one of those things that it's kind of what's best for us right now," Wood said. "With [Jordan Walden] banged up, they need a little help in the 'pen." Wood added that he doesn't have a problem with his current role.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez seemed to indicate that Wood would eventually move back to the rotation. "Sooner or later somebody is going to need a breather and you plug him right back in there," Gonzalez said. While the move fits the team's immediate needs, Wood could slot right back in once things change.
Through 49 2/3 innings, Wood has a 3.26 ERA.
