Elijah Green Lands on Single-A Injured List
Washington Nationals outfield prospect Elijah Green (hamstring) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Single-A Fredericksburg on Saturday with what appeared to be a hamstring injury that occurred when he was running to first base on Friday. The 21-year-old was having a rough season, having begun at High-A, where he hit .171 with a 45.7 percent strikeout rate. He was then sent to Single-A, where he was hitting .233 with a 34.5 percent strikeout rate. Despite the overall underperformance, the former fifth-overall draft pick from 2022 was riding an 11-game hit streak coming into Friday's game, going 15-for-45 (.333) with five doubles and three steals during that stretch. Green finished 2024 as Washington's sixth-ranked prospect but has fallen all the way out of the top 30. Hopefully the recent hot stretch was the beginning of a turnaround for the 6-foot-3 slugger.
