Chicago Cubs Have Wood Again


The Chicago Cubs activated hard-luck hurler Kerry Wood from the 60-day disabled list Friday following his recovery from a sore shoulder that has kept him out of the big leagues since June 6th of last season.

Finally off the DL for the 11th time in his career, the 30-year-old righty made only four starts last season and pushed his 2007 comeback farther due to more discomfort.

Wood made eight rehab starts to make his way back into the Cubs pen as a short reliever.

During those minor league outings, some of his pitches were clocked in the mid-90s.

Before Friday's series opener against the New York Mets, Wood caught some bullpen pitches from Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, who was to perform during the seventh-inning stretch.

Sweet.
