Giants' Alex Wood: Will face extended absence

Manager Gabe Kapler said Thursday that Wood (hamstring) is set to miss "at least" several weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wood was placed on the injured list Wednesday after he exited Tuesday's start in Miami after 2.1 frames. He had gotten off to a decent start early in the season, maintaining a 1.80 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with an 11:6 K:BB across 10 innings. Ross Stripling is expected to re-enter the rotation in Wood's absence.
