Wood (hamstring) threw live batting practice Tuesday in Houston, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood is traveling with the Giants as he nears the end of his recovery from a left hamstring strain, which was initially expected to cost him several weeks. He's less than two weeks removed from suffering the injury and could soon be cleared to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. It all points to the 32-year-old starter being an option again for San Francisco by the middle of May.

Wood (hamstring) completed a bullpen session Saturday and is scheduled to throw a simulated game Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shortly after Wood was placed on the 15-day injured list April 19, manager Gabe Kapler hinted that the veteran southpaw would be headed for an extended absence, but Wood seems to be coming along quicker than anticipated in his recovery from a right hamstring strain. If he checks out fine during his upcoming simulated game, Wood could be cleared to make a rehab start in the minors as soon as next weekend. Wood will likely need only one or two rehab outings to get his arm reconditioned for starting duty, so he could be back in action for the Giants as soon as the second week of May.

Wood (hamstring) is set to miss "at least" several weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood was placed on the injured list Wednesday after exiting his start Tuesday. He had gotten off to a decent start early in the season, maintaining a 1.80 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with an 11:6 K:BB across 10 innings. Ross Stripling is expected to reenter the rotation in Wood's absence.

Wood (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood exited his start Tuesday versus the Marlins in the third inning after he sustained a left hamstring strain and he will now be unavailable for at least 15 days while he nurses the issue. In his place, Tristan Beck was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will replace Wood on the Giants' major-league roster for the time being.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler told reporters after Tuesday's game against the Marlins that Wood (hamstring) will likely be placed on the 15-day injured list, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood left his start in the third inning after suffering a left hamstring strain while fielding a bunt and making an awkward throw to first. The left-hander appears all but certain to log an IL stint, and the Giants will consequently need to add a rotation arm for the next couple of weeks at the very least.

Wood left Tuesday's start against the Marlins with a left hamstring strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood picked up the injury while fielding a sacrifice fly in the third inning of his start against the Marlins. The left-hander should be considered day-to-day for now, but there's a very good chance he'll need to miss a start or two depending on the severity of the strain.

Wood left Tuesday's game against the Marlins with an apparent injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He allowed no runs over 2.1 innings with three strikeouts before exiting.

EDGE Analysis

Wood awkwardly fielded a sacrifice bunt and was checked out by trainers before exiting the contest. The left-hander should be considered day-to-day at this point but is in danger of missing his next scheduled start over the weekend against the Mets.

Wood struck out five over 4.2 shutout innings and took a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Dodgers. He scattered one hit and three walks and also hit two batters in the outing.

EDGE Analysis

Even though he kept the Dodgers off the board, Wood seemed to be wearing down in the top of the fifth inning, when he issued two of his three walks on the night. He was able to rebound from his second walk of the inning by generating a groundout off the bat of Freddie Freeman, but Giants manager Gabe Kapler yanked Wood from the game with two outs and the tying run in scoring position. Jake Junis was summoned from the bullpen and coaxed a fly out off the bat of Will Smith, stranding James Outman and Mookie Betts at third and second base, respectively, to preserve a 2-0 lead.

Wood allowed three runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out three across three innings Thursday against the White Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Wood was spotted a four-run lead in just two innings, but he was far too inefficient to qualify for a win. He needed 71 pitches to complete only three innings, and while he wasn't helped by an error in the second inning, he still managed to throw only 40 strikes. It was a poor start to the new season, and Wood will need to improve his performance to stick in the rotation with the likes of Sean Manaea and Jakob Junis currently working in relief.

Wood allowed one hit and struck out six over five scoreless innings in Tuesday's Cactus League win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Wood faced a lineup that consisted of about half major-leaguers. This was Wood's longest and sharpest start of the spring -- he has a 3.72 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 9.2 innings through three appearances. He'll open the season near the back of the Giants' rotation, but Tuesday's outing suggests he's ready for the regular season. He may get one more tune-up during the exhibition slate before lining up to make his regular-season debut versus the White Sox.
