WBC: Chicago Cubs All-Star to start for USA against Great Britain
Chicago Cubs fans will get to see their All-Star center fielder, Pete Crow-Armstrong, get the start against Great Britain after Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton got hit by a pitch in his hand in the fifth inning with the bases loaded. The 2025 Gold Glove winner will bat ninth for manager Mark DeRosa.

Chicago Cubs Pete Crow-Armstrong has a chance to shine in his first World Baseball Classic start
Getting his feet wet playing on Friday in the US’s 15-5 drubbing of Brazil, Crow-Armstrong has a chance to put on a show against Great Britain, who are 0-1 after losing to Mexico (8-2) on Friday. Crow-Armstrong and the USA lineup will face 31-year-old right-hander Tyler Viza, who has no major league experience, but has a 43-63 record with a 4.40 ERA in 816.0 innings in nine minor league seasons.
In 148 games against right-handed pitching last season, Crow-Armstrong batted .271 with an OPS of .838 and hit 24 of his 31 home runs off right-handers. Against left-handers, Crow-Armstrong was not great, batting .188 with an OPS of .593 in 109 games.
Crow-Armstrong can likely expect to play the whole game against Great Britain, with DeRosa likely to proceed with caution after Buxton got hit. If Buxton is good to play, he could likely come in as a late-inning switch if Great Britain brings in a left-hander to face Crow-Armstrong.
