Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Joins major-league roster

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Crow-Armstrong will be called up from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The 22-year-old will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Cody Bellinger (ribs), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Crow-Armstrong has hit just .203/.241/.392 with a 24:3 K:BB over his first 19 games at Iowa this season, but he could still see ample action in center field in Bellinger's place if manager Craig Counsell wants Crow-Armstrong's plus defense in the lineup. Mike Tauchman is also a candidate to see reps in center field.
