Wood could return to Cubs on Friday
Cubs hope Kerry Wood joins the rotation this week at Wrigley Field after an eight game rehab in the minors. He pitched 12 3 hitless innings for Tennessee and could debut for Chicago with limited innings as he rebuilds stamina. The bullpen had struggled, and manager Lou Piniella stressed health and controlled workload as Wood eyes a mid 90s fastball influenced return.
