FILE - In this June 16, 2017, file photo, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Alex Wood throws in the first inning of a baseball game, enroute to a 3-1 win against the Cincinnati Reds, in Cincinnati. With Clayton Kershaw sidelined by injury, the Dodgers are in need of a dominant left-hander. Baseball’s best team need look no farther than one locker past Kershaw’s in the clubhouse. Alex Wood has been doing his best impression of the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner for the last several weeks. (AP Photo/John Minchillo, File)
