Pete Crow-Armstrong makes young Cubs fan's hair dreams come true following lemonade stand visit
Young Chicago Cubs fan Madden and his friends opened up a lemonade stand in Chicago's Wrigleyville for a simple, creative reason related to Pete Crow-Armstrong. Madden wanted to turn his hair into what the young Cubs star had during spring training: bleach blond with blue stars all over. The youngster already had the blond part down, he and his friends just needed to raise money to pay for the stars addition. Little did the kids know that Justin Turner's wife, Kourtney, had come across their venture and got her husband to encourage Crow-Armstrong to make an appearance. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Crow-Armstrong did stop by this week, as reported by Marquee Network's Taylor McGregor, and not only signed some autographs but also gave Madden enough money to finish the hair job. Armstrong said during spring training when he already had bleach blond hair that his girlfriend Hailey's sister is a tattoo artist and he was convinced to have her add the stars to his head. He's since let his ginger locks grow out, but the blond look really made an impression on Madden. Crow-Armstrong has broken out on and off the field in Chicago this season. A first-time All-Star last week, the 23-year-old is hitting .270 with 26 home runs, 73 RBI and 28 stolen bases through 99 games. If Crow-Armstrong keeps this up, the bleach blond with stars hairdo might become a sensation in Chicago and the Cubs outfielder might have to bring it back for the rest of the season.

Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) out of Cubs' lineup Monday
July 22 - All-Star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is out of the Chicago Cubs' lineup Monday night due to soreness in his right knee. Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters before Monday's home game against the Kansas City Royals that Armstrong tweaked his knee Sunday against the Boston Red Sox. "He just banged it up (on a slide)," Counsell told reporters. "Woke up (today) and it felt a little swollen. So we're just going to try to give him the day today. And hopefully back in there tomorrow." It marks just the second time this season the National League leader in Wins Above Replacement has not played. Seiya Suzuki made his debut in center field in Crow-Armstrong's stead. The 23-year-old Crow-Armstrong has been one of the majors' most improved players this season. After compiling a .237 batting average with 10 homers and 27 stolen bases in 123 games as a rookie, the lefty has produced a .270 batting average with 26 homers, 72 RBIs and 28 stolen bases this season. He's the only player in the bigs with at least 25 homers and 25 steals. --Field Level Media

Pete Crow-Armstrong's injury serves as trade deadline reminder for Cubs
CHICAGO — All-Star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is currently sidelined with a bruised right knee, giving the Cubs yet another item to consider in the final 10 days before the July 31 trade deadline. Known for his hard-charging style of play, Crow-Armstrong felt something on a slide during Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Wrigley Field. The Cubs penciled in Seiya Suzuki as the starting center fielder in Monday's lineup against the Kansas City Royals, hoping their primary designated hitter can be a temporary solution. Advertisement 'He just banged it up and woke up and felt a little swelling,' manager Craig Counsell said. 'We're just going to try to give him the day today, and hopefully back in there tomorrow.' Still only 23 years old, Crow-Armstrong has emerged as a legitimate National League MVP candidate with his explosive combination of power (26 home runs), speed (28 stolen bases) and Gold Glove-caliber defense. He played in 98 of the club's first 99 games, covering 870-plus innings in center field and routinely making the difficult plays look easy with his instincts and initial bursts. For a team with World Series aspirations, Suzuki is not viewed as a viable everyday center fielder. Even before this issue popped up, the Cubs acknowledged their group of position players had been remarkably healthy. Adding more depth was always going to be a priority at the trade deadline. 'This is not a scenario we want to consider a lot, obviously,' Counsell said, 'just because we want Pete in there.' The track record shows that the Cubs typically add an extra center fielder during a playoff race. While current president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer worked as Theo Epstein's general manager in Chicago, the Cubs made midseason moves to acquire Austin Jackson (2015), Leonys Martin (2017) and Cameron Maybin (2020) for depth and experience. Chicago is already exploring the trade market for potential upgrades that could include a starting pitcher, a late-inning reliever and a third baseman. There is no way to completely replace Crow-Armstrong's energy and production – and this could wind up being only a short-term issue – but the club would be interested in another insurance policy. The Cubs believe Crow-Armstrong injured his right knee on Sunday's rundown in the second inning, which led to Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet covering third base. Advertisement 'He's not completely sure what had happened,' Counsell said. 'But if you look at the replays, it was likely on that one. That's why it was a blocking-the-bag situation because the slide was clearly altered. If you watch the slide and replay, it's not a normal-looking slide. And further reason that it was blocking the bag.'

Cubs 6, Red Sox 0: Taken deep too often
It got late early Saturday night, as the Cubs jumped on Brayan Bello for three runs thru two innings and never gave up a run on the way to a 6-0 victory. About the only thing that went right was keeping Reese McGuire hitless. He can get his own jollies. Three Studs Bryan Bello Yes, he got knocked around early, but he was in command after that, looking incredibly strong late, ending with those same 3 runs thru 6. What are ya gonna do? Masa Yoshida He had two hits. Abraham Toro He also had two hits, and a nifty play at first. Three Duds Chris Murphy The game was basically over when he came in, but gettin' taken deep three times in an inning isn't what you want. Reese McGuire Sad. Not Seeing Ryan Brasier He pitched the ninth. Marge is proud. Play of the Game Pete Crow-Armstrong could win the MVP so it's probably this: Pete Crow-Armstrong's solo home run (26) Pete Crow-Armstrong's solo home run (26) — MLB Home Runs (@ 2025-07-20T01:39:39.497175Z More from One Big Question: Will Carson Smith be a second-half weapon?
