Kerry Wood Hurt Again - Back Spasms

Here we go again. Kerry Wood has always had hall of fame talent. If only his body would had been able to hold up over the years. Here in 2008 the injury bug has struck again and the Cubs haven't even made it out of Spring Training!

Kerry Wood complained of back spasms and was unable to go in back to back games, which was Lou Piniella's plan to see if his arm would be able to handle the closer's job. Well, the good news, is his arm is fine (atleast according to the Cubs). The bad news, this latest injury is yet another road block for Kerry Wood to overcome.

Kerry Wood has pitched excellent this spring, and Piniella was beginning to lean toward Kerry Wood (over Carlos Marmol) to land the closer's role in the bullpen. Now its all up in the air, and the final couple of weeks in spring training should prove to be very interesting.
