Pete Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 9-8 defeat to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's loss, Crow-Armstrong's ability to connect for a homer adds a slight silver lining to his struggling season, where he's batting just .212. His power display, albeit infrequent with only four homers over 81 games, offers a glimpse of potential upside in deeper fantasy formats. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to limit his on-base opportunities, making him a risky play in standard leagues. Owners should monitor if this game sparks any form of consistency at the plate, which could make Crow-Armstrong a more viable fantasy option moving forward.
