The Pete Crow-Armstrong era will officially begin for the Chicago Cubs this week
The Chicago Cubs are looking to get a little bit of a boost for their postseason run here in September.
After weeks of speculation, the team is reportedly set to call up prospect Pete Crow-Armstong as he will be activated on Tuesday per Jeff Passan. With the Chicago Cubs getting ready for a playoff run, it makes sense to bring up the outfield prospect not only for a boost in the lineup but also for defense as well.
Chicago recently called up a few prospects including Alexander Canario.
Big news in Chicago: Top outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong is being called up by the Cubs, sources tell ESPN. The plan is for him to be activated on Tuesday. Cubs are gearing up for a playoff run, and their best prospect will be there with them.

The 21-year old outfielder was acquired by the Cubs in a trade with the New York Mets that centered around Javier Baez. Crow-Armstrong was the No. 19 overall pick back in 2020 for the Mets.
The call up comes after Crow-Armstong was slashing .271/.350/.479 with six home runs in 34 games for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs.
