Fantasy Analysis
Wood might have ended the year injured, but he still had a productive return to the Windy City. Wood compiled a 3-5 record with a 3.35 ERA. With the departure of Sean Marshall, the Cubs could use Wood in the late innings to get to closer Carlos Marmol. Fantasy owners should consider Wood a low-end Fantasy RP in NL-only formats without regular save chances. (Updated 01/13/2012).
