The Nationals reassigned Wood to minor-league camp Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Wood turned heads in Grapefruit League play, slashing .342/.491/.707 with four home runs, three stolen bases and a 12:10 K:BB over 21 games. However, considering that he's just 21 and really struggled with strikeouts (33.7 percent) at Double-A Harrisburg last season, plus the fact that the Nationals won't be competitive this season, there was little incentive for the club to push him up the ladder aggressively. Wood could still debut at some point in 2024.
