Homers, swipes base in win
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two total RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.
Analysis
Crow-Armstrong batted leadoff and showed off some of the dual-threat potential that made him a breakout player in 2025. The talented young outfielder has homered in consecutive contests and has three long balls during his current nine-game hitting streak. Overall, he's now up to nine homers and 13 stolen bases this year. After a slow start to the season, it seems like Crow-Armstrong is beginning to heat up.

Launches two-run homer
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the A's.
Analysis
Crow-Armstrong seems to be leaving his slow start behind him and has hit safely in his last eight games, notching a .343 average and 1.010 OPS with two home runs, five RBI and six runs scored over that stretch. The star outfielder has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise slumping Cubs offense.

Racks up four hits Saturday
Crow-Armstrong went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 6-1 win against the Cardinals on Saturday.
Analysis
Crow-Armstrong struck out in his first plate appearance, but St. Louis was unable to get him out thereafter. The star outfielder crushed a 444-foot solo homer in the eighth inning and capped the scoring with an RBI single in the ninth. It was the first four-hit effort of the season for Crow-Armstrong and the fourth in his career. He moved into the leadoff spot May 23 and has reached base in all but one of his eight games since. During that span, he's batting .290 (9-for-31) with two doubles, a homer, six runs, four RBI and a 5:10 BB:K.
