The 26-year-old Wood has the longest scoreless streak in the major leagues this season at 25 1/3 innings. He is 6-0 with a 1.69 ERA in 10 games (eight starts).

In a corresponding move, the Dodgers selected the contract of right-hander Brandon Morrow from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Morrow, who is in his first year with the Dodgers organization, has a 45-43 record with 16 saves and a 4.16 ERA in 254 games (113 starts) in 10 major league seasons. He last appeared in the majors with the San Diego Padres in 2016, going 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA in 18 appearances.
