Cubs fans, Wood last pitched on 07/11, he has been out with a blister since. Are the Cubs hiding something?

Question

I've had blisters before and they didn't take 2 weeks to heal.

Something isn't right here and I don't think it's a blister.

Answer 1

With pitchers, blisters take longer to heal...Josh Beckett when he was with the Marlins spent some time on the DL with blisters and even Nolan Ryan had a problem with blisters

So no I dont think they are hiding anything   just trying to make sure he doesnt injure it even more

Answer 2

WGN Radio reported last week it was a blood blister, but still he should have been ready after the All-Star Break.  I think Marmol will do great filling in for him for a little while, his confidence is back and he seems to be throwing the ball better.

Answer 3

i am in no way a cubs fan, but this is an interesting question. i too have had a lot of blisters and i agree that they do not take this long to heal. something may be up with him again.

Answer 4

He has arm trouble yet again. This is his 12th time on the DL in his career. Don't expect much from him the rest of the year.

Answer 5

idk, but if he is always hurt why are they still paying him? he's terrible
