Washington Nationals' fans are bracing for a potential absence of their All-Star outfielder James Wood. Wood left Monday's game early due to discomfort on his left side. According to MLB.com, ESPN, The New York Times, and MLB Trade Rumors, Wood will undergo imaging Tuesday to assess the extent of the oblique strain.

The Nationals have already announced that Wood will be placed on the injured list. The exact duration of his absence remains unclear. The team will need to adjust its lineup in the meantime.
