Robert Alexander Wood (born January 12, 1991) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent.

He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, San Francisco Giants, and Oakland Athletics.

[3] Wood was redshirted during his first season at Georgia because he had required Tommy John surgery after his senior year of high school.

[5] He played for the Rome Braves of the Class A South Atlantic League in 2012, where he pitched in 13 games, going 4–3 with a 2.22 earned run average (ERA) and 52 strikeouts.

[7] After pitching in ten games the first two months of the season and posting an ERA of 1.26, the Braves promoted him to the major leagues on May 30.

Wood made his first major league start on June 18, 2013, where he allowed one run and earned his first loss.

[12] On July 30, 2015, in a three-team trade, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Wood, Mat Latos, Michael Morse, Bronson Arroyo, Jim Johnson, Luis Avilán, and José Peraza, while the Miami Marlins acquired minor league pitchers Victor Araujo, Jeff Brigham, and Kevin Guzman, and the Braves received Héctor Olivera, Paco Rodriguez, minor league pitcher Zachary Bird and a competitive balance draft pick for the 2016 MLB Draft.

[17] An MRI exam the next day revealed a posterior impingement in his left elbow, requiring four weeks of rest, and he was placed on the disabled list.

[18] On June 16, he reported that the infringement subsided after he had some fluid drained from his elbow and he would be cleared to resume a throwing program a few days earlier than expected.

[23] On December 21, 2018, the Dodgers traded Wood to the Cincinnati Reds, along with Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Kyle Farmer, and cash considerations in exchange for Homer Bailey, Jeter Downs, and Josiah Gray.

He struggled with his command in the outing, only lasting three innings, and was placed on the injured list after the game with left shoulder inflammation.

[23] He was left off the roster for the first two rounds of the playoffs but was added back to it for the NLCS,[41] and he pitched 2+1⁄3 scoreless innings in the series.

[23] In the 2020 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, Wood appeared in two games, pitching four scoreless innings, as the Dodgers won the championship.

[48] Wood took the loss in his Oakland debut, giving up six runs on seven hits and a walk over 3+1⁄3 innings against the Cleveland Guardians.

[53][54][55][56] Wood married his longtime girlfriend, Suzanna Villarreal, a realtor, on November 25, 2017, in Atlanta, Georgia.
