Nationals Call Up Prospect James Wood for MLB Debut

James Wood, the top prospect for the Washington Nationals, is set to make his MLB debut against the New York Mets after an impressive performance at Triple-A Rochester. Wood, part of a trade with the San Diego Padres, brings high expectations to a Nationals team in need of offensive support. The 21-year-old outfielder's exceptional Minor League stats position him as a promising addition to the lineup, batting sixth in his debut. Wood's debut comes amidst a busy schedule for the Nationals, starting an eight-game homestand without a day off, aiming to boost their performance before the All-Star break.
