Wood's move to the 60-day disabled list opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for David Fletcher's contract selection. Wood is expected to miss the remainder of the 2018 season and a good chunk of the 2019 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May.

Wood will now be sidelined for the next 12-to-14 months while recovering from the procedure. He'll likely be shifted to the 60-day disabled list at some point to free up a 40-man roster spot for the Angels.

Wood had been dealing with damage to his UCL, but it's since been announced that he'll require Tommy John surgery. He'll be forced to miss the rest of the 2018 season, and likely most of the 2019 campaign as he works his way back.

This is an unfortunate development for Wood, as the veteran right-hander was on the cusp of returning from an elbow impingement before suffering the setback. He's set to receive a second opinion before determining the next step. As is often the case with UCL injuries, Tommy John surgery is firmly on the table for Wood.
