Description: Cubs starter Travis Wood has allowed 14 earned runs on 17 hits in 10 2/3 innings over his last two starts. | Insight: Wood won four straight starts from June 19 to July 6 but he's slipped up in his past two outings.

Description: Cubs starter Travis Wood is just 4-3 this season, but he's been very good in his last four outings - all wins. | Insight: In Wood's last four starts, he's got a 1.01 ERA and 0.975 WHIP. He's only faced Miami once in his career with poor results, but that was in April 2011. He's a different pitcher now and on a roll. If you need a replacement starter due to injuries, Wood is a very nice option. | | |

Description: Pitching for the Cubs, starter Travis Wood likely doesn't get a lot of attention, but he's pitched very well lately. Over his last three starts he's 3-0 with a 0.44 ERA and 0.822 WHIP | Insight: Wood (3-3, 3.05 ERA) could be a useful fill in, but will need to improve his SO/9 (6.3) if he wants a full-time fantasy gig. | | |

Description: Cubs starter Travis Wood pitched his second straight scoreless outing Sunday to pick up his third straight win. | Insight: Wood (3-3, 3.05 ERA) held Houston scoreless on three hits in 7 2/3 innings Sunday. The left-hander has thrown a quality start in five of his last six turns, including four straight. While it's doubtful he'll maintain this level of success, he's worth an add on the off chance he does keep it up. | | |

Description: Travis Wood will start the season with Triple-A Iowa. | Insight: Wood showed flashes of potential in his two years with Cincinnati (11-10, 4.18 ERA) but he's had a dreadul spring (17.28 ERA in four games). At age 25, there is still time for Wood but right now, heading to the minors for a little extra seasoning seems like the right move. | | |

SOURCE: Yahoo Sports | Insight: Wood was 5-5 with a 5.11 ERA in 16 starts. He needs to pitch better if he hopes to return to the Reds' rotation; look for Homer Bailey to take Wood's spot in the rotation. | | |

Description: Travis Wood was great today for the Reds scattering four hits in seven innings with seven K's. | Insight: Wood gave up his only run in a home run by Erick Almonte. The command and control artist threw 18 first pitch strikes in a great start to his season. Don't expect seven K's a game, but expect him to offer few free passes. | | |

Description: Travis Wood gave the Reds a key win over the Cardinals after allowing one unearned run over seven innings last night. | Insight: Wood had struggled mightily in his last two starts so he was probably on a lot of benches yesterday.

Description: Travis Wood allowed three run on ten hits and three walks in five innings today in a no-decision against Cincinnati. | Insight: Wood hasn't pitched well in either start since coming back to the rotation. He shouldn't be used next week against St. Louis. | | |

Description: Travis Wood had the worst start of his short career last night, giving up seven runs in four innings. | Insight: He had probably pitched a bit over his head in his previous starts. That being said, fantasy baseball owners can stick with him for his two-start week coming up. | | |
| 8/20/2010 6:56:00 AM |
Description: Travis Wood was recalled yesterday and limited Arizona to one run over six innings to earn a win and lower his ERA to 2.51. | Insight: Would should be owned in all formats as long as the Reds keep him in the rotation. He's not a must-start every week but he's not far off. | | |
| 8/19/2010 9:06:00 PM |
Description: The Reds called up Travis Wood today. | Insight: He is starting tonight after spending 10 days in the minors to try to limit his innings. He has pitched well enough to warrant a regular spot in the Reds rotation as long as they are in the playoff race. If they left him settle in, he can help owners in most leagues. | | |
