Pete Crow-Armstrong News
The Chicago Cubs optioned rookie outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to Triple-A Iowa on Monday to make room for the return of shortstop Dansby Swanson (knee) from the 10-day injured list. Crow-Armstrong will head back to the farm after slashing .236/.295/.364 with a homer, two doubles, one triple, nine RBI, five stolen bases and four runs scored in 23 games played in his second taste of big-league pitching following his 13-game debut in 2023. It makes sense for the Cubs to send the 22-year-old back to the minors so that he can continue his development and get everyday at-bats. Crow-Armstrong is a phenomenal defender in center field, and his speed should continue to play in fantasy whenever he makes his return to Chicago.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (rest) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The rookie outfielder has now sat on the bench for three straight games. He was getting decent playing time with the Cubs outfield banged up, but hasn't played much since Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki returned. Crow-Armstrong is too young and talented to be sitting around on the big league bench. He'll likely be headed to Triple-A soon if he doesn't start playing more frequently.
Chicago Cubs top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong blasted the first home run of his major-league career during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Houston Astros. The 22-year-old came to the plate with a man on in a tie game and smoked a Bryan Abreu offering into the seats. Crow-Armstrong is one of the top outfield prospects in baseball and should see steady playing time with Cody Bellinger (rib) sidelined for a while. Crow-Armstrong was struggling in Triple-A prior to being called up, but his speed and power blend make him worthy of a speculative add in the short-term.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, MLB Pipeline's No. 16 overall prospect, made it to the big leagues at just 21 years of age in the 2023 season. However, he went hitless in 19 trips to the plate, striking out in 36.8% of them. After putting the boots to Double-A pitching, Armstrong took a significant step back upon a promotion to Triple-A a season ago, hitting .271 with six home runs, 10 stolen bases, and an elevated 29.7% K% across 158 plate appearances, production that helped lead to a 106 wRC+ which is a mere 6% superior to the Triple-A average. He has displayed a quality combination of power and speed in his minor-league tenure but also well-above-average strikeout rates, not a huge surprise given his age. ATC is projecting just 348 MLB plate appearances for Crow-Armstrong in 2024 and just nine HR in that time. He is a fine dynasty league asset with plenty of room for growth but Crow-Armstrong is best left alone in redraft leagues this spring.
