Crow-Armstrong logged the first postseason hits of his career and also recorded three hits in a game for the first time since Aug. 15. He's shifted down the Cubs' order as a result of his recent struggles, but he should remain a regular for the team's upcoming series against the Brewers in the NLDS.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Shows off speed Tuesday
Rotowire
Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Atlanta.
Since sitting out two games last week to clear his head amid a slump, Crow-Armstrong has started to get going at the plate. Over his last four contests, the speedy outfielder has gone 4-for-11 with three runs scored, three stolen bases and four RBI. Crow-Armstrong did miss Sunday's contest with a bruised knee, but he was back as the DH on Monday and playing the field Tuesday, so it looks like a non-issue moving forward. The 23-year-old is now tied for sixth in the majors with 34 steals on the season, and Crow-Armstrong has added 28 home runs for good measure, putting him within striking distance of his first career 30-30 campaign.

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.
