Indians place Wood on DL again

Baseball Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Indians have placed closer Kerry Wood on the 15-day disabled list and recalled reliever Jensen Lewis from Triple-A Columbus to take his spot on the roster.

A blister on Wood's right index finger caused the move, which is retroactive to July 12. It's the 14th time the 33-year-old has hit the disabled list in his injury-riddled career.

The veteran right-hander was sidelined for the first month of the season because of a back strain.

Wood, in his second season in Cleveland, has appeared in 23 games this year and pitched to an underwhelming 6.30 earned-run average while converting eight of 11 save opportunities.

Lewis has been up with the Tribe previously this season and owns a 3.86 ERA in 20 outings out of the bullpen.
