Wood's Return in Doubt as Nats Struggle | Washington Nationals News

Meanwhile, newly acquired pitcher Connelly Early faces delays due to elbow discomfort, though front office confidence remains high. With a nine-game road trip and no wins yet, the Nationals are clinging to hope — but their future hinges on getting key players healthy before it’s too late.
