James Wood MRI & Trade Deadline Special | Fantasy Baseball First Cup August 4
Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood is set to undergo an MRI on his left side following an early exit on Monday. Corey Pieper breaks down a massive wave of trade deadline transactions, crucial late-inning bullpen shifts, the Trade Deadline Special segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction wire is packed with major player movement as James Wood undergoes an MRI today, while Jo Adell heads to the Guardians, Taylor Ward moves to the Mariners, Brenton Doyle joins the White Sox, Josh Smith lands with the Blue Jays, Liam Hicks goes to the Rays, Robbie Ray joins the Padres, Kris Bubic moves to the Dodgers, Adley Rutschman goes to the Red Sox, Braxton Garrett joins the Cubs, Dustin May moves to the Brewers, Daulton Varsho goes to the Astros for Spencer Arrighetti, Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor join the Cubs, Heliot Ramos heads to the Yankees, Marcelo Mayer is traded for Erik Miller, Lars Nootbaar joins the Diamondbacks, and both Foster Griffin and Nate Lowe head to the Guardians. Additionally, Casey Mize moves to the Padres, Kyle Manzardo and Emmet Sheehan were optioned to AAA, and Hector Rodriguez alongside George Lombard earned promotions. On the field, performance highlights feature an incredible three-home-run explosion from Alec Burleson, Luis Garcia making his Yankees debut, Jose Caballero homering for back-to-back days, and Jung Hoo Lee launching a home run while swiping a bag, alongside strong outings from Andrew Alvarez, Cristian Javier, Junior Caminero, Ian Seymour, Tatsuya Imai, and Logan Webb dueling Cal Quantrill. On the negative side, Justin Wrobleski, Cam Schlittler, William Contreras, Christian Yelich, and Nick Kurtz all tumbled into the duds column.
