Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Wednesday that Wood is not going to the bullpen right now, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The Marlins knocked Wood around to the tune of seven runs on 10 hits Tuesday, but the 23-year-old has been outstanding otherwise, with just six runs allowed in his other five outings. Given that Wood maxed out at 139.2 innings last season, a transition to the bullpen seems possible at some point, but the Braves could find other ways to manage his innings, such as skipping starts here and there.
