Pete Crow-Armstrong News
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 went 3-5 in Thursday's victory. The outfielder launched his first home run of the season in the bottom of the first. Then in the seventh inning, Crow-Armstrong laced a single, swiped second base, and crossed home plate on a passed ball. To cap the night off, the 22-year-old hit an RBI double in the eighth inning, which scored two. Crow-Armstrong was in contention to open the season in the big leagues but was sent down to further his development. He is posting an overall stat line of .308/.357/.519 in Triple-A and should receive a call-up later this season as the Cubs hope to contend for a playoff spot.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong will begin the 2024 season with Triple-A Iowa after he was optioned on Friday as part of the Cubs' roster cuts. The 21-year-old's outlook for this season was hurt when the Cubs brought back center fielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger on a three-year deal. It's been a slow spring for Crow-Armstrong who hit just .160 (4-for-25) with seven strikeouts, although he did record three doubles and stole three bases. Crow-Armstrong hit .283 with 20 home runs and 37 stolen bases alongside an .876 OPS across 107 games between Double-A and Triple-A a season ago. He should see time in the big leagues in 2024 but his immediate-term value is hampered in redraft leagues.

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.
