The Chicago Cubs recalled outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong from Triple-A Iowa ahead of Thursday's game against Milwaukee. He'll start in center field and bat eighth against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea. The Cubs optioned Luis Vazquez back to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Crow-Armstrong spent three weeks in Chicago before being sent back down on May 20. During that time the 22-year-old went 13-for-55 (.236) with four extra-base hits (one HR), nine RBI, four runs scored, and five stolen bases. The former first-round draft pick is a career .295 hitter in the minors but has yet to see that success carry over to the majors, as he also went 0-for-14 in a brief 2023 stint with the Cubs. If he can figure it out, he'll be a threat to steal a ton of bases, so managers in redraft leagues should keep a close eye out for signs of a breakout.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong tallied two hits, including a home run, on Thursday evening. Since his return to Triple-A Iowa on May 20, the top prospect on the Northside has tallied two hits in each of his three games and launched two home runs. The 22-year-old swiped five bases and hit for a .236 AVG through 23 games in the majors this season. Crow-Armstrong has swiped eight bags in 22 games in Triple-A this season which shows the elite speed the young outfielder has. The former first-round selection should be expected to re-join the major league roster later this summer and should be considered a must-roster simply due to his high stolen base output alone. He should already be rostered in all keeper and dynasty formats and is worth stashing in deer redraft leagues.

The Chicago Cubs optioned rookie outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to Triple-A Iowa on Monday to make room for the return of shortstop Dansby Swanson (knee) from the 10-day injured list. Crow-Armstrong will head back to the farm after slashing .236/.295/.364 with a homer, two doubles, one triple, nine RBI, five stolen bases and four runs scored in 23 games played in his second taste of big-league pitching following his 13-game debut in 2023. It makes sense for the Cubs to send the 22-year-old back to the minors so that he can continue his development and get everyday at-bats. Crow-Armstrong is a phenomenal defender in center field, and his speed should continue to play in fantasy whenever he makes his return to Chicago.
