Wed Aug 14 | 00:36 | James Wood Has Four-Hit Game Tuesday |
Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood continued his solid rookie season in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles. Wood went 4-for-5 with three singles, a double, and an RBI. He was also picked off of first base and was caught trying to steal second. The 21-year-old has looked like one of baseball's top prospects in his time in the big leagues, slashing .283/.369/.449 with four home runs, 23 runs scored, 26 RBI, and six stolen bases in 157 plate appearances. 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. |

Wood is hitting .246/.319/.354 with two homers, 12 RBI, seven runs scored, and two steals in four attempts in his first 17 games with the Nationals. 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. |
