James Wood, the Nationals’ top offensive weapon and a key contributor in homers and runs, is sidelined with a left-side injury that forced him out of Monday’s game against the Phillies. Already burdened by recent trades of other big bats, the team now desperately needs Wood to carry the load — and his absence, even temporary, could severely hurt their scoring punch. Though he felt fine after the at-bat, he couldn’t get comfortable swinging afterward. Imaging results are pending, and while depth exists, replacing his production is tough. Everyone’s holding their breath — his return is critical for keeping the offense alive.
