Wood still not ready to go

Indians manager Manny Acta told reporters in Maryvale that closer Kerry Wood did not throw a bullpen session Monday and that the right-hander would also not make his scheduled exhibition appearance Wednesday. Wood is still dealing with soreness in his right lat muscle.

In other injury news, left-hander Jeremy Sowers is scheduled to make his exhibition debut Thursday against the Reds at Goodyear Ballpark. Sowers fell out of the rotation race with left shoulder soreness and he is expected to start the season on the disabled list. … Shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (strained left groin) has been taking dry swings but is not expected to return to Cactus League action until the end of the week at the earliest.
