Wood (elbow) will throw off a mound Monday, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

Wood underwent surgery in mid-July that left him with an eight-week timetable for return, and has been optimistic all along that he would pitch again this season. Now, it's starting to seem like a realistic possibility, as the team has tentatively laid the framework for the southpaw to work his way back. First, Wood will need to throw two bullpen sessions, followed by two sessions with live hitters. If all goes well, he would then return to the Dodgers bullpen. A rehab outing likely won't be an option by the time he's ready, as the minor league season will presumably be over at that point.
