James Wood Placed on 10-Day IL with Oblique Strain

The Washington Nationals have placed All-Star outfielder James Wood on the 10-day injured list due to an oblique strain. Wood sustained the injury during Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Manager Blake Butera confirmed the move on Tuesday, sidelining the MVP-caliber outfielder as he begins his recovery process. The team is managing the injury, which has been described as minor, but it necessitates a stint on the shelf.
