44 Hunter Wood RP

Wood (shoulder) felt good following a bullpen session Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wood seems to be tracking for a brief absence with shoulder soreness. He expects to pitch in a game Friday, but it's not yet clear whether that will be in extended spring training or on a rehab assignment with High-A Charlotte.

Wood was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a sore right shoulder, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Wood's shoulder issue likely cropped up during his one-out appearance in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, manager Kevin Cash said the team is hopeful Wood's injury is "not a major concern," but the 25-year-old will nonetheless head back to Tampa Bay for further evaluation. Casey Sadler was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Clarifying an earlier transaction, Wood has been reinstated from the family medical emergency list and will remain with the Rays Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wood was originally reported as being reinstated and optioned to Triple-A Durham, but he will remain with the big-league club. Wood has pitched well through six innings of work this season, allowing no earned runs and striking out six.

Wood was activated from the family medical emergency list and optioned to Triple-A Durham, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Wood was originally placed on the paternity list last Sunday but remained away from the team to continue to care for his child. He has rejoined the team but was optioned to Durham, where he will continue to serve as bullpen depth for the club. He's pitched well in limited chances with the Rays, allowing no earned runs and striking out six in six innings of work.

Wood (personal) could be back with the Rays for Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wood had originally been projected for a Friday return, but ongoing family matters have delayed his availability. However, the right-hander could be in uniform and available out of the bullpen Sunday, with final word to come at some point before the 1:05 p.m. EDT first pitch.
