Goes deep again, swipes two bases
Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers. He also stole two bases.
Analysis
Crow-Armstrong wasted no time building on his first 40-homer campaign as he went deep for the second straight day and recorded his 41st long ball of the year. The superstar outfielder also swiped multiples bases for the sixth time this season, which got him to 35 steals overall to tie his career best. Crow-Armstrong is potentially closing in on just the seventh 40-40 campaign in MLB history, and he remains an elite fantasy option capable of producing in every offensive category.

Reaches 40-homer plateau
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two total RBI in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Marlins.
Analysis
Crow-Armstrong's fifth-inning home run was one of the few bright spots for Chicago in an ugly loss, as it got the star outfielder to 40 home runs for the first time in his MLB career, and he also set a new career high with 96 RBI. Additionally, the 24-year-old is sitting at 33 stolen bases, and if he gets particularly active on the basepaths over the next few weeks, he could record the first 40-40 campaign in Cubs' team history and just the seventh in MLB history. Crow-Armstrong ultimately has his sights set on a possible NL MVP award in what's been a masterful fantasy performance to date.

Provides offense in key win
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Brewers.
Analysis
Crow-Armstrong went deep against Milwaukee starter Logan Henderson with a runner on in the third inning, and it was all the offense the Cubs would need to secure a series split with their division rivals. The young outfielder came into the night with just a .322 OPS against the Brewers this year with no home runs, but he's been dynamite overall. Crow-Armstrong is now one long ball shy of his first career 40-homer campaign, and he's tacked on 32 stolen bases as well to put a 40-40 season well within reach.
