Wood scratched due to back spasms
Published 3/19/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
Chicago's Kerry Wood missed a one-inning relief appearance Wednesday because of lower back spasms, putting the competition for the Cubs' closer job on hold.
The development was "a little bit of a setback, but nothing, nothing serious," manager Lou Piniella said.
Wood, a former starter who has suffered shoulder injuries the past few seasons, had the inside track for the job over Bob Howry and Carlos Marmol.
