  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 12-0 win over the Pirates. At the end of July, Crow-Armstrong was batting just .194 with three home runs. In 30 games since then, the young outfielder is batting .327 with five long balls. Crow-Armstrong's greatest strength remains his speed, as he has 26 stolen bases in 27 attempts this season, but his recent production at the plate has unlocked another level of fantasy relevance.

• Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Homers in Friday's win

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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.
