MESA, Ariz. – Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was set to be back in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, after being scratched the day before with a tight right hamstring.
“It was a collaboration to get me to make a mature decision on where we’re at in the year, not pushing anything,” Crow-Armstrong said Tuesday morning. “And it was completely precautionary and nothing too noteworthy.”
He said he felt the tightness Wednesday morning at the Cubs’ spring training complex, and the athletic training staff noticed him stretching more than usual.
