James Wood shines in Nationals' rout of Cardinals
by Chris Schommer | Nationals Correspondent | Sun, Jul 28th 8:24am EDT
James Wood went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored, and two RBI in the Nationals' dominant 14-3 victory over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marked a significant uptick for Wood, who has struggled to maintain a consistent batting average in his rookie season. His multi-hit game could be a sign of adjusting to major league pitching, especially considering his .235 average and high strikeout rate thus far. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Wood, as increased confidence and contact at the plate could make him a valuable asset, particularly in deeper leagues or as a speculative add for those in need of outfield assistance. His ability to drive in runs and score when on base, as shown in this game, highlights his potential upside.
