James Wood has quiet night in Nationals' victory

James Wood went 1-for-4 in the Nationals' 4-1 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Nationals' success, Wood's individual performance was underwhelming, failing to contribute significantly with no RBIs, runs, or extra-base hits, and striking out twice. This game seems like a minor blip in what has been a promising season for Wood, who maintains a respectable .273 batting average and a .340 wOBA over 64 games. His ability to mix power and speed with five homers and 12 stolen bases keeps him relevant in fantasy circles, though his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern. Moving forward, Wood will need to cut down on strikeouts and leverage his speed and contact skills to maximize his fantasy output.
