Wood not going on DL after all

Earlier in the week, it was speculated that Kerry Wood would go on the DL to nurse his finger blister. Now Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Sun-Times says Wood will be spared from that trip. It wouldn't have made a huge difference anyway, as a 15-day stint on the DL could have been backdated far enough to allow the Cub's Closer to return on Sunday. With a new treatment Kerry is using on his blister, there are hopes that he can pitch as early as tomorrow.
