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.
