Pete Crow-Armstrong - Page 30 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Hits inside-the-park home run Crow-Armstrong went 2-for3 with a homer and two runs scored in Friday's 6-3 win against the Marlins.

Impact Crow-Armstrong put the Cubs on the board in the third inning when he lined one over Jesus Sanchez's head and raced around the bases in 14.1 seconds for the inside-the-park homer. The 14.1 seconds it took Crow-Armstrong to get from home-to-home was the 3rd fastest time tracked since 2015, with Byron Buxton being the only player to do it faster. Crow-Armstrong is being given plenty of opportunities to showcase his impressive tools, starting 25 straight games at center field and hitting .287/.321/.525 with three homers, 11 RBI and five stolen bases in that span.

Homers in Friday's win Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-6, 10-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Crow-Armstrong got the start in center field and blasted his fifth home run of the season in the fifth inning. Two of those long balls have come in the past four games. Crow-Armstrong was ultimately lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth, and Cody Bellinger finished the game in center as he saw his first outfield action since returning from the injured list in late July. If Bellinger sees more time in center moving forward, Crow-Armstrong could see his playing time decrease, though he's at least a strong candidate to serve as a pinch runner or defensive replacement on days he doesn't start.

Goes deep in loss Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Guardians

Impact Crow-Armstrong went deep in the fourth inning for his fourth home run of the season and first since July 14, when he left the yard twice. The 22-year-old is known more for his speed, as he has 23 stolen bases this year, though he did launch 20 homers combined between Double-A and Triple-A in 2023. If Crow-Armstrong can develop his power at the MLB level, he'd take a big step forward as a fantasy asset.

Solid effort in big win Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Reds. He also stole a base.

Impact The return of Cody Bellinger from a finger injury for Tuesday's game was seemingly bad news for Crow-Armstrong, though the former served as the DH the last two days, which kept Crow-Armstrong locked into center field. Bellinger should eventually see more time in the field, and Mike Tauchman is still around as well, so Crow-Armstrong could see his role decrease. The 22-year-old has struggled at the plate with a .194 average, though he has boosted his fantasy value with 19 stolen bases.

JULY 28, 2024 • Associated Press

Notches three hits in win Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Royals. He also stole a base.

Impact Crow-Armstrong is batting just .196 this season though he's been dynamic when he reaches base with 19 stolen bases in 68 games. The 22-year-old has gotten extended playing time lately with Cody Bellinger (finger) on the shelf, but the latter is expected back in the near future. Crow-Armstrong would then likely return to a reserve role. His long-term outlook is brighter as he continues to gain experience at the plate and figure out MLB pitching.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stepping out of lineup Crow-Armstrong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact He'll hit the bench for the first time since July 9, breaking a streak of 11 consecutive starts. Crow-Armstrong brings elite defense in center field and has been a menace on the basepaths (18 steals in 18 attempts), but he continues to struggle against big-league pitching. After going 0-for-17 over his last five starts, Crow-Armstrong is now holding down a .183/.234/.297 slash line over 192 plate appearances on the season.

JULY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First career multi-homer game Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Entering Sunday, Crow-Armstrong had just one homer all season. He finally flashed some power by taking Miles Mikolas deep in the third and fifth innings to triple his homer total on the year. Crow-Armstrong has added 17 RBI, 11 runs scored, 16 stolen bases and a .203/.253/.329 slash line over 174 plate appearances. With Cody Bellinger suffering a fractured finger Wednesday, Crow-Armstrong may have a bit more time to make his case to stay in the majors after the All-Star break.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Making return to lineup Crow-Armstrong (thumb) will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Crow-Armstrong will pick up his first start in a week, as he went without an appearance in four straight games while he contended with a sore left thumb before he made a cameo off the bench as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 9-2 win. Though the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong may continue to sit against most left-handed starting pitchers, he should get the chance to play regularly against righties now that he's healthy again. He may be at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Iowa, however, once the Cubs get Mike Tauchman (groin) back from the injured list.

JULY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available off bench Tuesday Manager Craig Counsell said Crow-Armstrong (thumb) is available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Crow-Armstrong received stitches in his left thumb following Wednesday's game against the Phillies. The 22-year-old hasn't played since getting stitches, and his hitting session Tuesday was his first since the injury. Crow-Armstrong is slashing .199/.247/.294 with 16 stolen bases, three triples, one home run and 15 RBI over 150 plate appearances this season.

JULY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moving into reserve role Crow-Armstrong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact Though the Cubs aren't yet back to full strength in the outfield with Mike Tauchman (groin) still stuck on the injured list, manager Craig Counsell has seemingly pulled the plug on Crow-Armstrong as a regular part of the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Crow-Armstrong will hit the bench for the fourth game in a row, with the Cubs facing two lefties and two righties in that span. Since getting called up from Triple-A Iowa in late May, Crow-Armstrong has gone 11-for-11 in stolen-base attempts, but he's slashed .173/.212/.247 with a 32.2 percent strikeout rate.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets stitches but is available Crow-Armstrong received four stitches for a left thumb injury suffered during Wednesday's game versus the Phillies, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Crow-Armstrong was hurt on a slide into third base. He is not in Thursday's lineup but was unlikely to be in it, regardless, with the Phillies sending lefty Cristopher Sanchez to the mound. Crow-Armstrong will be available off the bench.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in loss Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI and one stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.

Impact This was his first multi-hit game since June 22. Crow-Armstrong has displayed good baserunning this year, swiping 16 bags without getting caught, but his chances have been limited. He's batting just .199 with a .247 on-base percentage, and he's added one home run, 15 RBI and eight runs scored over 150 plate appearances. He continues to patrol center field against opposing right-handed pitchers, and his playing time should remain steady through the All-Star break.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Crow-Armstrong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Crow-Armstrong started the previous four games against a right-handed pitcher, but he'll take a seat Wednesday with righty Erick Fedde starting for the White Sox. Cody Bellinger will move to center field while Michael Busch mans first base.

MAY 30, 2024 • Associated Press

Recalled from Triple-A The Cubs recalled Crow-Armstrong from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Crow-Armstrong was sent down last week after seeing his playing time dip, but manager Craig Counsell has indicated the rookie could have a bigger role during this stint, playing some center field while Cody Bellinger sees more action in right field and at first base, per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. The 22-year-old Crow-Armstrong has put up a .659 OPS with one home run and five steals in 23 games with the big club this season. He's starting in center field and batting eighth in Thursday's game versus the Brewers.

Shakes off elbow injury Crow-Armstrong (elbow) returned to Triple-A Iowa's lineup Wednesday and has appeared in each of the club's last four games, going 2-for-19 with one stolen base and one run.

Impact After he was removed from a game last Sunday against Toledo with right elbow soreness, Crow-Armstrong sat out Tuesday but was back in action a day later. Though he's ostensibly healthy, the elbow injury may be affecting his timing at the dish, as he's struck out 11 times in 19 at-bats since making his return.

APRIL 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Minor elbow injury at Triple-A Crow-Armstrong had to leave Sunday's game with Triple-A Iowa due to right elbow soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Crow-Amstrong banged up the elbow on a dive in a previous game. The Cubs are saying he was removed as a precaution, so it seems safe to call him day-to-day. Crow-Armstrong is slashing .265/.306/.529 with one home run and four stolen bases in his first nine contests with Iowa this season.
