Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Back in lineup at DH
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong (knee) will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Monday's game in Atlanta.
Though fellow All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker (calf) will remain on the bench for a fifth straight game, the Chicago lineup will be bolstered by the return of Crow-Armstrong, who will rejoin the starting nine in a non-defensive role after sitting out Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals due to a right knee contusion. The Cubs haven't indicated how soon Crow-Armstrong might be ready to resume patrolling center field, but he could be back in on defense Tuesday if his knee provides no complications when he's at the plate or running the bases during Monday's contest.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Sitting in second straight game
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
The slumping Crow-Armstrong had already been held out of the lineup for Tuesday's 4-3 win while southpaw Joey Wentz toed the rubber for Atlanta, but the left-handed-hitting outfielder will now remain out of the starting nine against a right-hander (Bryce Elder). Cubs manager Craig Counsell seems to be taking a similar approach with Crow-Armstrong as he did with Kyle Tucker a few weeks ago, when Tucker was benched for three straight games for a mental reset amid a rough stretch at the plate. Tucker has bounced back well since returning to the lineup, and the Cubs are hoping that the brief break allows Crow-Armstrong to return to the All-Star-level production he delivered earlier in the season. Since the start of August, Crow-Armstrong is slashing just .163/.217/.231 with one home run and two stolen bases over a stretch of 30 games.
