Pete Crow-Armstrong News
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.
The Chicago Cubs called up outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday with outfielder Cody Bellinger (rib) landing on the 10-day injured list due to a rib fracture, according to manager Craig Counsell. Crow-Armstrong is the team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and deserves immediate waiver-wire consideration in mixed fantasy leagues, as he could take over primary center-field duties in Chicago until Bellinger is able to return. The 22-year-old former 19th overall pick in 2020 by the New York Mets was hitting just .203 (16-for-79) with two home runs, seven RBI and five stolen bases at Iowa before the call-up. He's more advanced defensively at this point than offensively, but his speed alone could make him valuable in the short-term.
Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong (elbow) is expected to be okay after leaving Sunday's contest with right elbow soreness. PCA missed his second straight game on Tuesday, but it is encouraging that he should not be sideline for long. The defensive specialist and top Cubs prospect is hitting .265 with one homer, four RBI and four stolen bases. Crow-Armstrong already has gold glove caliber defense, but it is his bat that will need to come around for fantasy managers to consider adding him if/when he is promoted for his second big-league stint in 2024.

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.
