CHICAGO -- Kerry Wood plans to throw a baseball for the first time in nearly two months on Monday, the latest step in yet another comeback attempt by the Chicago Cubs injury-plagued righty.
Wood said Saturday he still wants to pitch this season. He hasn't thrown since a spring training game March 25 when he made 18 pitches in relief and felt weakness in his right shoulder.
Wood, who has been working out for nearly three weeks to strengthen the shoulder, had been bothered by tendinitis. He said he had an injection a couple of weeks ago to relieve the inflammation.
"I think we put the fire out, so we got back to work and have been taxing it pretty good the last couple of weeks and it responded. I haven't had any stiffness or soreness or anything I've had in the past as far as to this point," Wood said.
"Again, it means nothing until I throw a ball."
The plan is to play catch Monday on flat ground and go from there.
