In seven games with Iowa, he batted .387 (12-for-31). He hit four doubles, three home runs, seven RBIs, eight runs scored and a whopping 1.248 OPS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe certainly had a good 10-day stretch,\u201d Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Thursday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Crow-Armstrong was in the lineup on Thursday, Counsell wasn\u2019t ready to announce him as the everyday starter.

We obviously brought Pete to be a part of this and I think it gives us some more choices throughout the game and I expect that to evolve.
