UPDATE: Kerry Wood to throw bullpen session on Sunday

UPDATE: Wood tells Eric Gilmore of MLB.com that he “felt fine” after playing catch on Saturday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday.

“I’ll throw off the mound again [Sunday] and continue the process.”

The Indians will likely provide a more definitive timeline on his return after he throws on Sunday.

11:56 AM: According to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kerry Wood was unhappy with the way he threw during a one-inning simulated game on Friday.

Wood is currently working his way back from a strained latissimus dorsi muscle suffered during spring training. The Indians were set to decide whether to activate Wood from the disabled list or send him out on a minor league rehab assignment, but while the club stopped short of calling it a setback, the timeline for his return is now on hold.

Said trainer Lonnie Soloff, “the input Kerry gave us after throwing is that he felt general soreness and a lack of sharpness. We’ll see how he feels [Saturday] and adjust his program accordingly. He’s been asymptomatic for five weeks.”

Wood was originally expected to miss six to eight weeks with the injury, so if he needs the full window, we might not see him until mid-May. Chris Perez has filled in as closer during his absence, posting a 4.76 ERA while going 4-for-5 in save opportunities.
