Wood will start Friday in place of the injured Rich Hill, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports Monday.
Hill was placed on the disabled list Monday, officially opening up his starting slot for Wood. The lefty has been wild this season, issuing six walks in just nine innings, but he's held opponents to just one run on three hits thanks in large part to eight strikeouts. When Wood has had his chances to start, he's been successful -- he owns a 3.39 ERA over 78 career starts -- so he should be considered a cut above the typical spot starter.
