Wood pitched the ninth inning Friday for his 24th save in the Cubs' 3-1 win over the Giants. But after the game the Cubs staff learned of the the blisters. Wood will not be available for tomorrows final game against the Giants. He will go to the All-Star game for the first time since 2003, but according to the Cubs managers Lou Piniella who will be one of the coaches of the National League. He will not play, they will not take any chance. For owners who have him in weekly leagues might want to look for a back up in case the Cubs decide to rest him during this short week.
