Jul 24 Gordon Wittenmyer, of The Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Cubs have placed CL Kerry Wood (finger) on the 15-day disabled list with a blister on his right index finger. The move is retroactive to July 14, so he will be eligible to come off Tuesday, July 29. KFFL


Jul 24 The Cubs placed Wood on the disabled list Thursday for the 12th time in his 10-year career because of a blister on his pitching hand.

Advice: Wood, who has 24 saves in 29 chances and was selected to the NL All-Star team, has a blister on his right index finger that has kept him out since July 11. Chicago general manager Jim Hendry hopes Wood can return Tuesday at Milwaukee when he is eligible to be activated. He was put on the DL retroactive to July 14. Wood is 4-2 with a 3.02 ERA. He sat out the All-Star game last week at Yankee Stadium because of the blister.

Jul 24 RHP Kerry Wood will see a hand specialist in Chicago on Thursday. Wood has not pitched since July 11 because of a blister on his right index finger. The Cubs want to find out why the finger isn't healing better. It's possible Wood will have to go on the disabled list. Yahoo! Sports


Jul 24 Because rules prohibit backdating a DL move more than 10 days, Wood (blister) would be required to be sidelined at least five days from the time of a move, a stretch that looks like a safe bet pending the outcome of Thursday's examination, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Recommendation: The blister won't go away, and at this point, it looks like Wood could be sidelined into next week.
