Wood Returns for Nationals; Bradford Seeks Lost Command for Rangers

The Washington Nationals welcomed back two-time All-Star Joey Wood to their lineup on Wednesday, marking his return after a stint on the injured list with a left oblique strain. Wood managed a hit in his first game back, though the Nationals were ultimately shut out by the Atlanta Braves.

Meanwhile, Texas Rangers pitcher Cody Bradford is struggling to regain the pinpoint command that was instrumental in his ascent to the major leagues. Since returning from elbow surgery, Bradford's control has been inconsistent, hindering his ability to replicate his previous success on the mound.
