2024 MLB predictions: MVP, Cy Young, ROY, World Series

Sent down to Triple-A Crow-Armstrong was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The re-signing of Cody Bellinger seemed to spell the end of Crow-Armstrong's chances of cracking the Opening Day roster, and he's now officially headed back to Iowa where he will play every day when its season begins. Crow-Armstrong could still have a path to at-bats eventually if the Cubs wind up using Bellinger more at first base, although Mike Tauchman is higher in the center field pecking order right now.

Remains on bench Crow-Armstrong is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest with Arizona.

Impact Crow-Armstrong will remain on the bench for a third consecutive game Sunday as Mike Tauchman draws another start in center field. The 21-year-old may be on the short side of a platoon in the outfield for the time being.

Sits again Saturday Crow-Armstrong remains on the bench for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Impact Crow-Armstrong started a pair of games earlier in the week after earning his first career call-up, but he's now been on the bench for two games in a row. He's gone 0-for-7 at the plate with three strikeouts and is 0-for-1 on the basepaths, so he's yet to do much in very limited action to suggest he should be playing everyday for a contender. Mike Tauchman starts in center field Saturday.

Sitting Friday Crow-Armstrong isn't in the Cubs' lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Crow-Armstrong remains hitless (0-for-7) through the first three games of his MLB career, so the Cubs will give the 21-year-old a day off to regroup. Mike Tauchman will start in center field Friday and bat in the leadoff spot.

Cody Bellinger, Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Cubs' wide range of possibilities When it comes to Cody Bellinger and Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Chicago Cubs will be working from a position of strength.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Starting in center field Tuesday Crow-Armstrong will start in center field and bat eighth Tuesday at Colorado, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Crow-Armstrong made his major-league debut off the bench Monday and is now getting his first big-league start as the Cubs take on Rockies right-hander Chris Flexen. The dynamic 21-year-old top outfield prospect slashed .288/.364/.524 versus righties this season in the minors.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially joins big club Crow-Armstrong was called up by the Cubs on Monday.

Impact It was announced earlier Monday that Crow-Armstrong would be getting the call, and the Cubs made the move official shortly thereafter. Chances are he will see plenty of action the rest of the way, but he is not in the lineup for Monday's matchup with the Rockies.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting call to majors The Cubs plan to call up Crow-Armstrong from Triple-A Iowa prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 21-year-old will make his first trip to the big leagues this week, with his arrival expected to bolster the Cubs as they prepare for a playoff run. He's expected to immediately settle in as an everyday player in center field, where he already profiles as a potential Gold Glove-caliber defender. Crow-Armstrong has also displayed some growth as a hitter in 2023 while splitting time between Iowa and Double-A Tennessee, slashing .283/.365/.511 to go with 20 home runs and 37 stolen bases in 47 attempts. Expect the Cubs to deploy Crow-Armstrong near the bottom of the lineup, though if he can keep his strikeouts in check and continue to get on base at a steady clip like he has in the minors, he should have ample opportunities to put his speed on display in September.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

One step away from majors Crow-Armstrong was promoted from Double-A Tennessee to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Cubs' center fielder of the future, Crow-Armstrong had a 150 wRC+ and 11.9 percent walk rate since May 23 and he hit .368 with four home runs and four steals in his last 10 games, so it was time for a new challenge. The 21-year-old outfielder has a chance to aid fantasy managers in all five standard roto categories. It's not inconceivable that the Cubs could bring him up in September if he doesn't skip a beat at Triple-A, but it's probably more likely Crow-Armstrong debuts early next season.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dialed in at Double-A Crow-Armstrong is slashing .280/.351/.500 with nine home runs and 16 steals in 48 games for Double-A Tennessee.

Impact The 21-year-old outfielder has been particularly impactful of late, hitting .316 with five home runs and five steals in his last 19 games. Crow-Armstrong projects as the Cubs' center fielder of the future, and he brings a strong combination of power and speed to go with his plus defense.
