Reds Demote Wood

22. June 2011  - Published by Dan Clasgens

It became apparent that Travis Wood was running out of time to turn things around with Homer Bailey nearing a return from the disabled list.  The clock hit zero on Wednesday as the Reds optioned Wood to Triple A Louisville and recalled Sam Lecure, who was on a rehab assignment with the Bats.

Wood is 5-5 on the season with a 5.11 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 93.1 innings in 16 starts. Despite only suffering only two losses over his last 10 starts, the left-hander has struggled with control.

FANTASY TAKE: Wood is no longer a viable in year-to-year, redraft mixed leagues. However, he could still be worth holding onto in both NL-only and dynasty formats. Expect his stint in the minors to be temporary, assuming he can get things straightened out.
