Nationals Depth Chart
James Wood News
Washington Nationals rookie outfielder James Wood went 2-for-4 with a triple and a home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies, collecting two RBI and two runs scored in the process. The hits extended the left-handed hitter's current hit streak to six games. The 22-year-old has shown he belongs in the big leagues since being called up at the beginning of July, slashing .269/.360/.434 with nine home runs and 14 stolen bases in 78 games (331 PA) to start his career. Expect the former second-round draft pick to start 2025 with the Nats and he'll likely have a costly ADP with the strong blend of power and speed.

James Wood Busts Out Of Slump With Two Long Balls
Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood found his bat on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs in a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins. Wood has been slumping a bit at the plate lately, with a mediocre .250/.308/.333 slash line in September heading into this one. He was able to put that behind him and will hopefully get back on track for the final few weeks of the season. It's been a terrific rookie campaign for the 21-year-old, who has shown he belongs at the big league level without a doubt. He will likely be drafted in the top 75 next season, and his upside warrants that.

James Wood Swipes Three Bags On Wednesday
Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood went 2-for-4 at the plate with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Yankees, but his most impressive feat was that he stole three bases in the contest. The 21-year-old now has 11 steals on the season through 51 games played, and while he's been streaky with the bat, overall he's been solid, slashing .280/.377/.430 with a .355 wOBA and a 130 wRC+. He could be a difference-maker in the fantasy playoffs and is still available in more than 25% of Yahoo leagues. Either way, the Nationals' outlook is bright in the outfield with Wood and Dylan Crews looking like future fantasy superstars.

He is still adjusting, as he has been caught stealing five times and owns a 30.6% strikeout rate, but fantasy managers have to like what he's done overall.

He hit a go-ahead three-run homer in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds, giving him hits in seven of his last eight. He will face Padres hurler Randy Vasquez, which is good news since he is hitting .276/.364/.414 against right-handers. He will be a high-reward play for daily fantasy managers, while those in standard leagues will keep him in their lineup.

James Wood Records Hit In Big-League Debut
Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood singled in his first big-league at-bat during Monday's 9-7 loss to the New York Mets. MLB Pipeline's third-ranked prospect also reached on an error and finished 1-for-4 with a strikeout and a walk. Wood showed great plate discipline in his first at-bat, forcing Mets starter David Peterson to use six pitches before Wood delivered an opposite-field single in the bottom of the second. Fantasy managers have waited for Wood, who hit .353/.463/.595 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 44 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases at Triple-A Rochester, and have no plans to pry him out of their lineups. If Wood is available on waiver wires, break the FAAB bank.
