Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies. He also stole two bases.
Crow-Armstrong is displaying his strength as a base stealer early in the season, as he already has 12 swipes in 13 attempts and he's stolen two bases in each of his last two games. The youngster had 27 steals a year ago while batting only .237 with a .286 on-base percentage. Crow-Armstrong is batting .295 with a .339 on-base percentage so far in 2025, and he could fly past his 2024 steals total if he keeps reaching base at a higher clip.

Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Padres.
After batting just .148 with no home runs though seven games in March, Crow-Armstrong has heated up in April. The youngster is now batting .315 with three long balls in 14 games this month. Crow-Armstrong is also continuing to showcase his trademark wheels, as he's swiped seven bases in eight attempts this season. If Crow-Armstrong can keep making consistent contact, his combination of power and speed makes him an intriguing fantasy option.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Goes deep twice Sunday
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-4 with two solo homers and a triple in Sunday's 4-2 win against the Dodgers.
The 24-year-old propelled the Chicago offense with his second career multi-homer game (the first came July 14, 2024 against St. Louis).

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Busy night against Rangers
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with two RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Rangers.
It was a busy night for Crow-Armstrong, who singled, stole second base and came around to score a go-ahead run in the third inning. After singling and swiping another bag in the fourth frame, the speedy center fielder tacked on some insurance runs via a two-run single in the eighth. Perhaps Tuesday's performance gets the former top prospect on track, as he's batting just .222 with zero homers and five RBI across 54 at-bats, though he does have three doubles, 10 runs scored and six pilfers through 14 games.

Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Athletics. He also stole a base.
Crow-Armstrong was effective in the lopsided win, and he seems to be rounding into form. Over his last three games, the speedy outfielder has gone 5-for-13 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored. It's a small sample, but if Crow-Armstrong can keep it up, he should be able to post useful fantasy numbers due to his ability on the basepaths.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Swipes first bag
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks. He also stole a base.
It's been a bit of a slow start to the year for Crow-Armstrong, who went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts in Chicago's two-game opening series in Tokyo earlier this month. He didn't swipe any bags during that series either, but he got back to running once he reached base during the domestic opener. Maintaining a decent batting average remains a concern for Crow-Armstrong, but the 23-year-old has shown that he can record steals at a high rate when he gets the opportunity.
Through 10 Cactus League games, Crow-Armstrong is slashing .519/.500/1.000 with three home runs and 11 RBI.
The young outfielder handled a regular MLB role for the first time in 2024, and while he batted only .237 with a .286 on-base percentage, he did muster 10 home runs and 27 stolen bases in 123 games. Per Mike Petriello of MLB.com, Crow-Armstrong made some tweaks to his swing as the 2024 campaign went on, including moving back in the batter's box. The adjustments seemed to help, and if he can carry over some of his spring momentum into 2025, Crow-Armstrong could be poised for a true breakout effort.
