Kerry Wood begins his rehab assignment tomorrow night for the Double-A Akron Aeros. (Cleveland.com)

Kerry Wood is one step closer to making his 2010 Cleveland Indians debut, as he will begin a rehab assignment tomorrow night with Double-A Akron Aeros.

Wood began the season on the disabled list with a strained right lat after making two appearances in spring training. He pitched two scoreless innings giving up one hit and striking out two.

Since Wood has been on the disabled list, Chris Perez has assumed the closing role for the Tribe. He has saved four of the Tribe’s ten wins, but started the season very shaky. He is 0-1 with a 3.52 ERA.

When Wood returns, Perez will go back to the setup role.

Akron will take on the Trenton Thunder (NYY affiliate) tomorrow night at 7:05pm.
