Pete Crow-Armstrong doubles home winner in 10th

Pete Crow-Armstrong

CHC Center Fielder #4

Player Stats

Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a go-ahead double in the 10th inning to give the Cubs a 4-3 win over the Mets on Thursday.

Crow-Armstrong also added a single. The 24-year-old doubled home Matt Shaw in the 10th to give The Cugs their lead and ultimately the victory. He’s doubled 13 times in 2026, and he’s up to 45 runs driven in on the season, putting him right around a 90-RBI pace. After a very slow start to the season, Crow-Armstrong has been brilliant with the bat. The question is if he can consistently be this level of player through a full season. If he can, he’s going to be one of the best players in baseball for a long time when you consider how great he is with the glove.

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI, and two runs scored as the Cubs defeated the Padres 23-3 on Wednesday afternoon.

Chicago’s 23 runs are the most they’ve scored in a game since 1995, and their eight homers tied a franchise record. PCA has been on an absolute heater lately, and he finished June with a .381/.468/.781 triple slash line before homering on the first day of July. The former Mets prospect has more than doubled his walk rate from last season, and he’s now up to 19 homers and 21 stolen bases on the year. Crow-Armstrong isn’t running quite as aggressively as he did in 2025, but all the extra times on base could lead to him beating the 35 thefts he accumulated last season.

Pete Crow-Armstrong will not compete in next month’s All-Star Home Run Derby.

Crow-Armstrong has vowed to participate at some point in his career, but it won’t be during this year’s Midsummer Classic. The 24-year-old fantasy force has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since the start of June, crushing 10 homers across 25 contests during that span.

Pete Crow-Armstrong stole a pair of bases in an extra-inning win over the Brewers on Sunday.

With the pair of steals, PCA is now up to 20 on the season. That puts him just under a 40 stolen-base pace, and the way he’s gotten on base — he drew three walks Sunday — suggests that he’s going to have a chance to reach that figure in 2026.

Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a three-run homer and walked twice against the Mets on Tuesday.

Crow-Armstrong was also involved in the game’s most controversial play; he tried to steal second on what was ball four to Michael Busch in the seventh, only to be called out after touching and then coming off the bag on his slide. Of course, PCA was entitled to second base with the walk, but once he came off the bag on the slide, that protection ended. Craig Counsell was tossed out for arguing the play, but technically, it was all called correctly. The Cubs went on to win 9-6 anyway.

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Crow-Armstrong’s tear at the plate did not stop on Saturday against the Blue Jays. After drawing a walk in the fourth inning, he took Lazaro Estrada deep for a two-run blast in the sixth. He later added a base hit in the eighth to reach for a third time. The 24-year-old outfielder is now hitting .286/.363/.521 with 16 homers, 47 runs scored, 40 RBI, and 18 steals across 329 plate appearances.

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-3 with a run scored, an RBI, and two stolen bases as the Cubs handled the Blue Jays on Friday.

He was pulled for Justin Dean after five plate appearances as the Cubs made the score a little too lopsided. We doubt fantasy managers are too upset with the results. Crow-Armstrong, hitting .237/.325/.388 at the end of May, is now hitting .283/.359/.510 and has added eight homers and five stolen bases over the last 15 games while slugging .937. Enjoy the ride.

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a chaotic 8-6 win over the Rockies on Wednesday.

This guy is on fire. Crow-Armstrong has now homered in three consecutive games, four times in his last five, and eight times already in June. This one was funny too, sneaking just inside the right field foul pole. At the time, this gave the Cubs an 8-1 lead in a game they eventually only won 8-6. Nevertheless, Crow-Armstrong’s slow start to the season feels like a distant memory as he’s now one of the only players in the league on a 30 homer, 30 steal pace with a .276 batting average that’s nearly 30 points higher than where it wound up last season. He is a bonafide superstar.

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 4-for-4 with a double, a triple, a home run and two RBI against the Rockies on Monday.

Crow-Armstrong started the Cubs’ half of the first inning with a home run off Michael Lorenzen, his sixth home run of June already. He then started the Cubs’ half of the third inning with a triple. With the hard parts out of the way now, he doubled in the fifth inning before clinching the cycle with a single in the seventh inning. PCA is hitting .277 with 13 home runs, 43 runs scored, 35 RBI and 16 stolen bases.

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with a leadoff homer and a double as the Cubs bested the Giants 6-1 on Saturday.

PCA’s fifth homer in June got things off to a great start against Trevor McDonald, and the Cubs never looked back. Crow-Armstrong is now up to .263/.341/.462 for the year. He was hitting .236/.306/.369 on this date a month ago.

Pete Crow-Amstrong homered in the sixth and ninth innings Saturday before the Cubs topped the Giants 3-2 in 10.

Crow-Armstrong kept the Cubs alive, with his second homer tying things up with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. After a scoreless top of the 10th, the Cubs won the game right away on a Michael Busch single and an error in the bottom of the inning. Automatic runner Dansby Swanson was going to be held at third on the shot to right, but Victor Bericoto booted the ball to allow Swanson to score. PCA now has four homers in his last four games and an 11-game hitting streak. He’s up to .259/.343/.449 for the season.

Jalen Beeks will undergo season-ending flexor tendon surgery.

It’s a rather unexpected development since Beeks hit the injured list with back spasms last month. The well-traveled 32-year-old southpaw should be a full-go next spring. He finishes the season with a respectable 3.81 ERA across 26 innings of work.

Blue Jays transferred OF/DH George Springer to the family medical emergency list.

It’s merely a procedural move since Springer has exhausted the number of days he can spend on the paternity list. Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters the 36-year-old veteran will spend a few additional days away from the club on paternity leave before returning to Toronto but could return for Monday’s series opener against the Giants.

Wade returns to Houston’s corner outfield mix following a nearly one-month absence recovering from a right hamstring strain. The 32-year-old veteran was 4-for-12 with one round-tripper in four games with the Astros before getting hurt. He’ll play regularly against right-handed starters moving forward.

Astros recalled OF Zach Dezenzo from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Dezenzo earns another look with the Astros after hitting .280 (23-for-82) with two homers and eight steals in 23 games at the Triple-A level since early June. He’s likely to be relegated to a platoon role and won’t play enough to have any realistic fantasy appeal.

Astros optioned OF Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Meyers has basically been usurped by Taylor Trammell as Houston’s primary center fielder over the last few weeks. The 30-year-old has been shipped to the minors after hitting just .206/.264/.316 with three homers and one steal across 148 plate appearances in 52 games. He’s not special enough as a defender to justify being a complete non-factor at the plate.

Loperfido returns to the minors after hitting just .136 (6-for-44 with one homer in 19 games since returning from the injured list back on June 9. The 27-year-old former prospect projects as a strong-side platoon option at this stage of his development, but he simply hasn’t hit enough to make that happen this season.
