Impact Wood left his start in the third inning after suffering a left hamstring strain while fielding a bunt. The left-hander will all but assuredly hit the injured list with the injury and the Giants will need to add a rotation arm for the next couple of weeks at the very least.

Giants starter Alex Wood exits early with hamstring injury

San Francisco Giants left-hander Alex Wood has exited his start against the Miami Marlins in the third inning because of a a strained left hamstring

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 Josh Outman and Mookie Betts at third and second base, respectively, to preserve a 2-0 lead. Even though Wood departed with a lead that the Giants maintained the rest of the night, the official scorer chose to award the win to reliever Scott Alexander.

Inefficient in season opener 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Top MLB teams keeping cores intact; why Giants could make playoff push

Will be in rotation Manager Gabe Kapler confirmed Wednesday that he views Wood as a starter for 2023, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Wood is among seven potential starters in Giants camp, and there was some doubt to his role after he finished last year with a 5.10 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 130.2 innings. He ended the season with a shoulder injury, but he was deemed healthy at the start of camp and should be able to build up as normal during spring training. Wood likely slots in toward the back of the Giants' rotation, be it a five- or six-man group at any point in the season.

Appears healthy for camp Wood (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wood closed the 2022 season on the 60-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement, but his ability to get back on the mound during the first week of spring training suggests that he's returned to full health. The next injury never seems to be far behind Wood, but when he's been able to enjoy a run of sustained health in the past, the veteran lefty has shown the ability to deliver fantasy-friendly numbers. While that wasn't the case in 2022 -- he finished with a career-worst 5.10 ERA in 130.2 innings -- most other underlying metrics (3.29 xFIP, 3.45 SIERA, 18.2 K-BB%) suggested that Wood pitched far better than his ERA indicated. Assuming he escapes spring training unscathed, Wood should have a spot in the San Francisco rotation and may make for an attractive late-round target in deep-league drafts or an appealing early-season streaming option in shallower formats.
