Latest news
Wood is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
After spending a month on the IL due to an oblique injury, Wood returned on Sept. 2 and started the past 10 contests. He's gone 11-for-37 (.297 average) with three doubles, four steals, two RBI and two runs since being activated, but he has seen his home-run drought extend to 18 games. Andres Chaparro is batting second as the designated hitter Tuesday for Washington.

Wood went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Angels.
The steals were the 20th and 21st of the season for Wood, and per Jessica Camerato of MLB.com, he and CJ Abrams (30 HR, 29 SB) are the 11th pair of teammates in league history to record 30-20 seasons together, a club most recently joined by Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor with the Mets last year. Since returning from an oblique strain in early September, Wood has gone 9-for-33 (.273) with three doubles, four steals, two runs and two RBI, but he's still looking for his first homer since July 26 as he remains stuck on 30.

Wood went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.
Wood has gone 4-for-13 with two doubles and one RBI over three games since he returned from an oblique injury. This was his first steal since his activation off the injured list. The outfielder is up to 18 steals on 20 attempts this year. He's added a .267 batting average, .925 OPS, 30 home runs, 74 RBI, 101 runs scored, 28 doubles and one triple across 117 contests.

The Nationals activated Wood (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Wood was shelved for nearly a month with a left oblique strain, but he's ready to roll after going 2-for-6 with one home run in two rehab contests. The All-Star outfielder has swatted 30 home runs, stolen 17 bases and collected a .928 OPS across 114 games for the Nationals this season. Wood is starting in right field and batting leadoff in Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.

Wood (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Manager Blake Butera said that Wood's return is contingent on him feeling good when he wakes up Wednesday morning, but chances are that he returns to the Nationals' lineup for their series finale against Atlanta. The 23-year-old has slashed .265/.393/.535 across 535 plate appearances when healthy this season, though he owns just a .620 OPS in the 17 games he's played since the All-Star break.

Wood (oblique) is expected to play in at least one more rehab game this week before returning from the 10-day injured list, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Wood kicked off a rehab assignment Sunday at Double-A Harrisburg, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run while playing six innings in left field. All of the Nationals' affiliates are off Monday, so Wood will presumably wait until Tuesday before playing in his next minor-league game. If Wood is able to get in a full nine innings Tuesday and if feels fine physically coming out of that contest, he could then be activated as soon as Wednesday. The All-Star outfielder has been on the shelf since Aug. 4 due to a left oblique strain.
