Giants' Alex Wood: May return Saturday

Manager Gabe Kapler said Wood (illness) could be activated from the COVID-19 injured list to pitch Saturday against Atlanta, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wood completed a simulated game Wednesday with no issues and could rejoin the Giants without a rehab assignment. The 30-year-old has been on the shelf since testing positive for COVID-19 at the end of August, and he's expected to face some workload limitations if cleared to pitch Saturday.
