Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Hits inside-the-park home run
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and a second run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.
Crow-Armstrong got the Cubs on the board in the third inning when he raced around the bases in 14.1 seconds for an inside-the-park homer. That's the third-fastest time around the bases recorded since 2015, with Byron Buxton being the only player to do it faster. Crow-Armstrong is being given plenty of opportunities to showcase his impressive tools, starting 25 straight games in center field and slashing .287/.321/.525 with three homers, 11 RBI and five stolen bases.
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.
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Guardians
Crow-Armstrong went deep in the fourth inning for his fourth home run of the season and first since July 14, when he left the yard twice. The 22-year-old is known more for his speed, as he has 23 stolen bases this year, though he did launch 20 homers combined between Double-A and Triple-A in 2023. If Crow-Armstrong can develop his power at the MLB level, he'd take a big step forward as a fantasy asset.
