MLB: Cubs Beat Nationals to Move 20 Games over .500
Crow-Armstrong leads off again and ranks first in the majors with a 7.3 WAR as Chicago keeps his bat in the lineup.
- Ahead of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals, Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell moved outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to designated hitter, with Tyrone Taylor taking over defensive duties in center field.
- The lineup adjustment allows Crow-Armstrong, who is leading the league with a 7.3 WAR, to rest defensively; across 117 games and 439 at-bats, he has recorded 26 home runs and 70 RBIs.
- Crow-Armstrong recently hit a 437-foot home run against the Washington Nationals, his 27th of the season, and remains firmly in the mix for the National League MVP alongside Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
- Chicago holds a 68-49 record and rides a five-game winning streak, remaining focused on catching the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central race while maintaining the top Wild Card spot.
- LHP David Peterson starts Wednesday for the Cubs, while the Nationals are expected to promote top prospect Jackson Kent as Chicago pushes to improve upon their season-best 20 games over.500 mark.
