Pete Crow-Armstrong Resting for First Time This Season

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong will start on the bench for the first time this season in Thursday's game at Wrigley Field against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies with a left-hander on the mound, according to MLB.com. Matt Shaw will make the start in center field for the Cubbies and will hit eighth against left-hander Crisopher Sanchez. Crow-Armstrong heads to the bench after hitting .247 (23-for-93) with a home run, seven RBI, five stolen bases, and 14 runs scored in 101 plate appearances across his first 24 games in 2026. In his last four games, he's gone 6-for-15 with a double, triple, two RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base. The 24-year-old former first-rounder by the New York Mets in 2020 struggled in the second half in 2025, but he was a first-time All-Star in his second full season in the big leagues and had 31 homers and 35 stolen bases total. Shaw will have limited DFS appeal at the bottom of the Chicago batting order in a tough matchup. He's gone hitless in two career at-bats against Sanchez.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Struggling to Begin 2026

Across his first 77 plate appearances of 2026, Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is hitting .236/.276/.306 with one home run, five RBI, 12 runs scored, and four stolen bases. The 24-year-old was the talk of baseball to start the 2025 season, posting an .847 OPS with 25 home runs and 27 stolen bases before the All-Star break. However, Crow-Armstrong faltered down the stretch, posting a .634 OPS with just six homers in the season's second half. So far in 2026, Crow-Armstrong has been closer to his second-half self. He owns a subpar 4% barrel rate and has struck out in 29.9% of his plate appearances while walking at just a 3.9% clip. Crow-Armstrong's athleticism and elite defense should keep him in the Cubs' lineup and allow him to rack up stolen bases and counting stats. Still, the high-end power/speed upside that Crow-Armstrong showcased early in 2025 is starting to look more like a temporary hot streak than an established level of production.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Agrees to Six-Year, $115 Million Extension With the Cubs

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Chicago Cubs extension agreement with outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is worth $115 million over six years and will start in 2027. Passan also notes that the deal does not include a club option, allowing Crow-Armstrong to hit free agency ahead of his age-31 season in 2033. The 24-year-old enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2025, hitting .247/.287/.481 with 31 home runs, 95 RBI, 91 runs scored, and 35 stolen bases across 647 plate appearances. Crow-Armstrong's profile is not without flaws, as he walked at just a 4.9% rate in 2025 and owns a .591 OPS across 284 career plate appearances against left-handed pitching. Still, Crow-Armstrong's elite center field defense guarantees him playing time, and his combination of power and speed provides him plenty of fantasy upside. The Cubs' financial commitment to Crow-Armstrong should only strengthen his already stellar dynasty outlook.

Cubs, Pete Crow-Armstrong Finalizing Long-Term Extension

The Chicago Cubs and star outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong are working to finalize a multi-year extension that would keep him in Chicago long-term, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. Terms of the deal haven't been disclosed yet, and while the two sides are approaching an agreement, nothing has been finalized at this point. Still, it's a very encouraging development for all parties involved, including Cubs fans and fantasy baseball managers. Crow-Armstrong is coming off a spectacular 30-30 season in which he slashed .247/.287/.481 with 31 home runs, 35 stolen bases, and 109 wRC+. He was also highly productive defensively, posting 21 OAA and 21 FRV in center field. There are some holes in his game -- last year's 4.5% walk rate is far from optimal -- but overall, at just 23 years old, he has already blossomed into a superstar outfielder with a very bright future ahead of him.

Can Pete Crow-Armstrong Shake Off 2025 Second-Half Struggles?

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong broke out in a major way in 2025, hitting .247/.287/.481 with 31 home runs, 95 RBI, 91 runs scored, and 35 stolen bases across 647 plate appearances. However, the vast majority of the 23-year-old's production was front-loaded in the first half of the season. After the All-Star break, Crow-Armstrong hit .216/.262/.372 and struck out in 25.6% of his plate appearances. He also struggled against left-handed pitching throughout the year, logging a .594 OPS with a 29.3% strikeout rate against southpaws. As a result of his second-half troubles, Crow-Amstrong enters 2026 with some question marks in his fantasy outlook. Still, Crow-Armstrong's 13% barrel rate in 2025 backs up his power surge, and his 62 stolen bases over the past two seasons leave little doubt about his ability to provide fantasy value with his legs. Crow-Armstrong is also considered to be one of the best defensive center fielders in baseball, which should keep his playing time in Chicago secure even if he struggles with the bat. Crow-Armstrong profiles as a high-risk, high-reward outfield option for fantasy managers in 2026.

Can Pete Crow-Armstrong Bounce Back from His Underwhelming Close to 2025?

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong had a spectacular season overall in 2025, posting a .247/.287/.481 slash line with 31 home runs, 95 RBI, 91 runs scored, and 35 stolen bases across 647 plate appearances. However, the 23-year-old's production fell off in the second half of the year. Across 246 plate appearances after the All-Star break, Crow-Armstrong hit .216/.262/.372 with just six home runs and struck out at a 25.6% rate, up from 22.9% in the first half. The lefty-swinging Crow-Armstrong also showed a notable platoon split throughout the season, logging a .594 OPS across 188 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. Heading into 2026, Crow-Armstrong should remain an everyday staple in the Cubs lineup thanks to his elite defense in center field. He also posted a 13% barrel rate in 2025 and has 64 career stolen bases across 293 MLB games, so his power/speed profile appears legit. However, fantasy managers may want to anticipate a drop in counting stats and potentially a decline in batting average in 2026.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Locks Up 30-30 Season

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong joined Sammy Sosa as the only 30-30 players in franchise history in a 12-1 throttling of the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Crow-Armstrong mashed his 30th home run, a two-run shot, to highlight a 1-for-3 afternoon. It was just the second HR this month for PCA, who has struggled since playing in his first All-Star Game in July. After recording an .847 OPS in the first few months of the season, that figure has plummeted to .595 in the second half. Along with his 30 HRs and 35 stolen bases, the 23-year-old defensive maven has hit .245/.285/.476 with 93 RBI and 90 runs scored over 155 games and 640 plate appearances this season.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Returning on Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the hosting Atlanta Braves, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup against right-hander Bryce Elder. Willi Castro is in center field and will hit sixth. Crow-Armstrong fouled a ball off his right knee in Saturday's loss to the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field and sat out of Sunday's series finale as a result. The 23-year-old All-Star is back in the lineup to begin the week, though, and will look to stay hot at the plate after going 4-for-9 with a double, two RBI, a steal and three runs scored in four games to start September. Barring a setback with his knee, PCA should return to defensive work in center field for the Cubbies sooner than later. Fantasy managers will want to get Crow-Armstrong back in their lineups.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Not Worried About Knee Injury?

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) gave a thumbs up in the clubhouse at Wrigley Field, a sign that he's not too worried about a right-knee injury that he suffered in Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. However, the Cubs are playing it safe with their All-Star center fielder and could keep him out a second straight game in Monday's series opener at the Atlanta Braves. The 23-year-old fouled a ball off his kneecap on Saturday and had to leave early. "PCA came in actually feeling pretty good," manager Craig Counsell said before Sunday's loss. "He's still a little sore today, but we're going to get him moving around today, which is a good sign. We'll see how that feels." While Crow-Armstrong might sit on Monday, he doesn't appear to be in danger of going on the injured list.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Questionable for Monday With Knee Contusion

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) has not been confirmed for Monday's lineup against the Atlanta Braves, as manager Craig Counsell will re-evaluate his status on Monday before the game. Crow-Armstrong is day-to-day with a right-knee contusion after fouling a ball off his kneecap on Saturday. The 23-year-old started the season hot but has cooled off in recent weeks, slashing .160/.216/.230 in August. A short break could benefit the young outfielder, giving him a chance to reset and rediscover his swing as the Cubs aim for a deep October run.
