Wood will start for the Giants on Sunday in Pittsburgh, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood has been up-and-down this season while being used as a starter and bulk reliever, but he did toss five shutout frames in a bulk role his last time out. The left-hander will be making his first start since June 22.

Wood (4-3) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Rockies, allowing three hits and a walk over five scoreless relief innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan Walker lasted two innings as the opener and left with the score tied 2-2, but Wood was able to shut down the Colorado offense completely once he took the mound. The veteran southpaw tossed 47 of 72 pitches for strikes as he remained locked in an alternating pattern of great outings and poor ones -- he's flipped between winning and losing in every appearance since May 26, posting a 0.43 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in the four wins but a brutal 15.43 ERA and 2.68 WHIP in the three defeats. Wood has worked behind an opener in his last three trips to the mound, and the Giants might keep him in that bulk relief role until he shows some consistency.

Wood (3-3) alowed five runs (four earned) on two hits and four walks over 1.2 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Wood came out of the bullpen after Ross Stripling fired two shutout frames and immediately ran into trouble. The Mets plated three runs on Wood in the third inning followed by two more in the fourth. After posting a 2.87 ERA through his first five appearances, his ERA has ballooned up to 6.51 through 45 innings this year. The veteran southpaw has yet to complete six innings in any outing this season and has now made two straight appearances out of the bullpen to follow an opener. As of now, Wood's next outing is lined up to be at home against the Rockies.

Wood (3-2) earned the win in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Toronto. He allowed five hits while striking out seven over five scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

After Ryan Walker pitched a scoreless first inning, Wood held the Blue Jays off the board for five innings while logging a season-high seven strikeouts to earn the win. It was an encouraging effort from the 32-year-old southpaw after he allowed six runs in two of his last three outings. Wood lowered his ERA to 4.57 with a 1.48 WHIP and 43:20 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season.

Wood (2-2) took the loss Thursday, allowing six runs on four hits and four walks over 3.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres wasted no time in jumping all over the lefty as he issued walks to two of the first three batters he faced before surrendering a three-run shot to Gary Sanchez. Wood allowed another three-run homer to Manny Machado in the third inning and has now allowed six runs in two of his last three starts. This marked Wood's shortest outing since May 12 and his ERA now sits at 5.17 on the season.

Wood (2-1) allowed three hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Wood had a minimal stay on the injured list with a back strain. The game was close for the bulk of the time he was pitching, and he did his part by throwing 47 of 67 pitches for strikes against his former team. The Giants' offense took over from the fifth inning onward. Wood's now at a 4.11 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB through 35 innings across nine outings (eight starts). He may still need a couple more turns through the rotation to build up his pitch count. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Padres.

Wood (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list by the Giants on Saturday

EDGE Analysis

Wood comes off the injured list to make a start against the Dodgers on Saturday. The southpaw missed the minimum time on the IL with his back strain, and he returns to a 4.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP accumulated over 30 innings and eight appearances -- seven of those starts.

Wood (back) is likely to return from the injured list to start Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

John Brebbia is slated to serve as the Giants' opener Friday and Logan Webb is locked in for Sunday. It should be Wood who fills the TBD in Los Angeles on Saturday, assuming there are 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.

Wood (back) could return from the 15-day injured list to make a start during the Giants' series in Los Angeles versus the Dodgers next weekend, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, and though he's expected to cover around only 50 pitches in the outing, that might be enough for the Giants to have him make his subsequent start with the big club. Whenever Wood makes his return from the IL, it would be a welcome development for a Giants squad that will be doing a bullpen day for the second straight game Sunday.

Wood, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a back strain, is expected to spend the minimum amount of time on the shelf, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Giants are hopeful Wood isn't dealing with a significant injury, he has a checkered history on the health front, so fantasy managers shouldn't take it as a given that he'll back in 15 days. At the very least, the Giants will have to replace Wood in two turns through the rotation, with Jakob Junis and the newly recalled Tristan Beck looking like the most logical candidates to fill in for the veteran southpaw.
