The Washington Nationals faced a disappointing loss against the Seattle Mariners, with James Wood's impressive 450+ foot homer being their sole highlight. Trevor Williams is set to start, and with Cade Cavalli performing well at Triple-A, he may be vying for a spot in the rotation. General Manager Mike Rizzo and Manager Dave Martinez are contemplating changes, especially with an upcoming series against the Cubs. Additionally, Kyle Finnegan is recovering from an injury, and updates on Jacob Young's situation are anticipated, adding layers to the team's current challenges.
"We're trying to work and see pitches. But when he's like that and you know he's attacking like that, you've got to go up there and be ready to hit. You might get just one pitch like that down the middle, and then all of a sudden you're fighting. Tip my cap to him. He kept going out there and kept throwing strikes." - manager Dave Martinez said about last night's game
James Wood leads the Nationals with a WAR of +2.1, demonstrating the team's potential to improve given strong individual performances.
