Mandatory Credit: Rich Storry-USA TODAY Sports The Washington Nationals plan to call up outfield prospect James Wood to make his major league debut Monday, 106.7 The Fan reported Friday.
Wood, 21, is ranked as the league's No. 3 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline and is tearing the cover off the ball this season at Triple-A Rochester.
He entered Friday with a .346 batting average and a 1.036 OPS in 51 games for the Red Wings, racking up 10 home runs, 34 RBIs and 10 stolen bases.
Wood boasts a .300 career average with 51 homers, 209 RBIs and 58 RBIs in 282 games in the minors since 2021.
A second-round pick by the San Diego Padres in 2021, Wood was traded to the Nationals in the Juan Soto deal on Aug. 2, 2022.
The Nationals begin an eight-game homestand on Monday with the opener of a four-game series against the New York Mets.
