San Francisco Giants left-hander Alex Wood was forced to exit his start against the Miami Marlins in the third inning on Tuesday night due to a strained left hamstring. The injury occurred when Wood planted both feet awkwardly after fielding Jean Segura’s bunt near the third-base line, throwing him out by a step. Wood immediately limped around the mound, prompting attention from an athletic trainer and Giants manager Gabe Kapler. The 32-year-old Wood, who has not completed five innings in any of his three starts this season, gave up one run and one hit, striking out three and walking one in 2 1/3 innings. Although Wood’s injury was described as not being too serious, it remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined. The Giants were leading 2-0 at the time of Wood’s exit but ultimately lost 4-2.

On Tuesday night, during a game between the San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins, Giants left-hander Alex Wood had to exit the game in the third inning due to a strained left hamstring. Wood had planted both of his feet awkwardly after coming off the mound and fielding Jean Segura’s bunt near the third-base line. Although he managed to throw out Segura by a step, Wood was seen limping around the mound, which prompted immediate attention from an athletic trainer and Giants manager Gabe Kapler. Wood was replaced by Jakob Junis.
Wood’s outing ended after 2 1/3 innings, during which he gave up one run and one hit, struck out three, and walked one. He is yet to complete five innings in any of his three starts this season. After the game, Wood stated that his cleat had stuck hard when he went to field the bunt, which led to his hamstring injury. Despite the injury, he remains optimistic, saying, “As far as hamstrings it’s not that bad. We’ll see how I wake up tomorrow and go from there.”
The Giants were leading 2-0 at the time of Wood’s injury, but ended up losing the game 4-2. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
