Pete Crow-Armstrong delivers in tight Cubs victory

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-2 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' narrow 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
The young outfielder's solo shot contributed crucially to the team's victory, marking his fifth homer of the season. Despite a rather dismal .210 batting average over 84 games, Crow-Armstrong's ability to add value through occasional power and speed (23 stolen bases) keeps him on the fantasy radar. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to limit his on-base potential, reflected in his .262 wOBA. Fantasy managers should view him as a situational player who can provide sporadic home runs and steals but might be a liability in batting average and OBP formats.
