James Wood powers Nationals to tight victory
by Chris Schommer | Nationals Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 9:04am EDT
James Wood went 2-for-4 in the Nationals' 5-4 win over the Angels with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores Wood's growing reliability as a power source in the Nationals' lineup, especially considering his solid slugging contributions in just 35 games this season. His ability to connect for extra-base hits, evidenced by his season totals of four doubles, three triples, and now four home runs, boosts his fantasy value significantly. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious due to his high strikeout rate, which could impact his batting average and on-base opportunities. Nonetheless, Wood's recent display of power and run production makes him a player to watch or pick up for those in need of outfield depth.
