Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run during the Cubs' 7-6, extra-inning win over the Reds on Wednesday.
The Reds' four-run ninth inning gave them a 6-4 lead heading into the bottom of the frame, but Crow-Armstrong extended the game with a two-run homer off Graham Ashcraft. It was the fourth home run of the season for Crow-Armstrong and extended his on-base streak to 10 games. Over that 10-game span, he has gone 10-for-36 (.278) with two steals, three home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored.

Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Reds.
A day after hitting a key home run in a Chicago win, Crow-Armstrong showed off the speed element in his game as he stole his eighth base of the season in 11 attempts. The talented young outfielder is now riding a five-game hitting streak, which has pushed his overall slash line up to .248/.316/.390. Coming off a 30-30 campaign in 2025, Crow-Armstrong remains a dynamic fantasy asset who is capable of producing elite stats the rest of the way after a relatively slow start to the year.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Goes deep again Wednesday
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Padres.
Crow-Armstrong hasn't really gotten his power stroke going yet, but he has now homered in consecutive games to get to three long balls on the year. Before Tuesday, his only home run of the season came back on April 7. Crow-Armstrong's .241 batting average is similar to last year's .247 mark, but his OPS is down from .768 in 2025 to .669 so far in 2026. However, he's capable of getting hot in a hurry, and his ability to rack up stolen bases as well raises his fantasy ceiling.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Snaps homer drought Tuesday
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk in an 8-3 win against the Padres on Tuesday.
Crow-Armstrong provided Chicago with a trio of insurance runs in the seventh inning with a 410-foot blast to center field. The long ball was his first since April 7 -- a span of 19 games. Crow-Armstrong went deep 31 times during the regular season last year, but he's hit just two home runs through 30 games so far in 2026. He's added 10 RBI, 18 runs, six stolen bases and a .241/.309/.339 slash line.
Crow-Armstrong is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Phillies.
It's the first day off this season for Crow-Armstrong, who has reached base six times in the first three games of the series. With PCA receiving a breather, the Cubs will roll with Matt Shaw in center field as they try to complete a sweep.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Swipes base in three-hit game
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Phillies.
Crow-Armstrong has yet to truly get going this year, but he does now have five hits across his last two games, and he's batting .345 over his last eight contests. The speedy outfielder is also up to five stolen bases, though he has already been caught three times. Crow-Armstrong swiped bags at an 81 percent success rate last season, and he figures to increase his 2026 percentage as the year goes along.
Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Two hits, two runs scored in win
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Phillies.
It was Crow-Armstrong's second multi-hit game of April, and his third-inning double off Aaron Nola was just PCA's second extra-base hit of the month. After opening the season in the cleanup spot for the Cubs, Crow-Armstrong has been hitting near the bottom of the lineup for the past couple weeks as he looks to find his swing. The 24-year-old is slashing .221/.264/.294 with one home run, five RBI, 11 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 3:22 BB:K across 72 plate appearances. He continues to struggle badly against left-handed pitching, hitting .148 with one extra-base hit and a 0:12 B:K over 28 plate appearances versus southpaws.
Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Rays.
After smacking 31 home runs during the regular season last year, Crow-Armstrong had yet to find his power stroke before Tuesday, but he's now on the board with his first long ball of 2026. The talented outfielder also recorded his fourth stolen base through 11 games. Crow-Armstrong had a 30-30 campaign in 2025, and his ability to both hit the ball over the wall and swipe a base gives him a ton of upside from a fantasy perspective moving forward, especially if he goes on a power surge in the near future.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Steals base in loss
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians.
With Cleveland starting lefty Joey Cantillo, Crow-Armstrong slid down to eighth in the order, but he still managed to make an impact. The speedy outfielder has stolen three bases through seven games and is batting a respectable .269, but his .629 OPS reflects a lack of power so far. Friday's double was the first extra-base hit of the season for Crow-Armstrong, who is still in search of his first 2026 home run after going deep 31 times during the regular season last year.
Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Swipes two bags in big win
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Nationals.
After swiping a career-high 35 bags on 43 attempts last season, Crow-Armstrong was successful on his first two tries in 2026. The 24-year-old center fielder is off to a hot start at the plate, going 4-for-9 in two games with a 1:3 BB:K, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit of the year.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Drives in two Opening Day
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Nationals.
The Cubs put Crow-Armstrong in the cleanup spot Opening Day, and he responded with a team-best two RBI. After a breakout 2025 campaign, the young outfielder inked a six-year, $115 million contract extension earlier this week. Crow-Armstrong did fade some down the stretch last year, however, which is something he will aim to avoid in 2026. He made some minor mechanical tweaks in the offseason in an effort to make his swing more compact and find a bit more consistency at the plate across the long season.
