The Chicago Cubs are hoping three straight days out of the lineup will bring some life back to the bat of Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Crow-Armstrong is expected to be back in center field when the Cubs (80-60) open a three-game series against the visiting Washington Nationals (56-83) on Friday afternoon.
Crow-Armstrong hit just .160 in August with a .446 OPS and one home run. He made his first MLB All-Star appearance in July after hitting .265 through that point of the season with an .847 OPS.
He had 25 home runs and 71 RBIs at the All-Star break. He has just three homers and 12 RBIs since then.
Crow-Armstrong was used as a defensive replacement late in the game on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. Chicago manager Craig Counsell didn’t use Crow-Armstrong in Wednesday’s series finale, and the Cubs had Thursday off.
