BALLER MOVE: Add In All Formats
ROSTERED IN: 67% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Washington Nationals officially called up their top prospect, James Wood, on July 1. After tearing it up at Triple-A this season -- batting an absurd .353 with 10 home runs, 16 doubles, 37 RBI, and 10 stolen bases -- Wood deserved his chance in the big leagues.
The left-handed slugger has also not disappointed in his first five career games. Wood has a hit in four of his first five major league games, including a 2-for-3 performance with one RBI and one walk on July 3. It has also been impressive to see the 21-year-old take his walks when needed. He has drawn four walks through five games so far.
Another James Wood single and he's on-base every game so far.

It has been great to see Wood already making an impact in the majors. While he hasn't totaled any extra-base hits, he has been getting on base. As a result, fantasy managers should be running to the waivers and adding him immediately. He has the tools and potential to be a solid fantasy option in Year 1.
