Reaches 30-steal plateau
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Royals. He also stole a base.
Analyse
Crow-Armstrong extended his hitting streak to five games and also swiped a base for the second straight contest. The talented outfielder is now up to 30 stolen bases overall, which marks his second consecutive season reaching that milestone. With four more home runs this year, Crow-Armstrong will have back-to-back 30-30 campaigns as well. With a robust .937 OPS to boot, the 24-year-old has been an elite fantasy contributor in 2026.

Swipes base, scores two runs in win
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 3-2, extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.
Analyse
A day after going deep twice to get to 26 home runs on the season, Crow-Armstrong swiped his 29th bag of the year. It was a critical steal, too, as he nabbed third base in the bottom of the 11th inning with the game tied 2-2, then came around to score the winning run on a throwing error. The star outfielder is closing in on his second straight 30-30 campaign, and he's currently among the top 10 in the majors in both categories. Crow-Armstrong is on an absolute tear, and if he keeps this up, he could be the Cubs' first MVP winner since Kris Bryant back in 2016.

Paces offense with big game
Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs and four total RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.
Analyse
Crow-Armstrong continued his stellar season with his first two home runs of the month, bringing him to 26 long balls overall. In five August games, the star outfielder is now slashing a robust .412/.545/.941, continuing a run of strong play that dates back to June following a slower start to the year. Crow-Armstrong's big game Wednesday came with Shohei Ohtani in the other dugout, who clubbed two homers of his own in what's shaping up to be a two-man race for National League MVP.

Serving as DH on Wednesday
Crow-Armstrong will bat leadoff and start at designated hitter Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Analyse
The Cubs will give Crow-Armstrong a day off his feet, but he'll remain in his usual spot in the batting order. Tyrone Taylor will cover center field and bat ninth for the Cubs.
