Pete Crow-Armstrong woke to the sound of banging at his hotel room door. It was fall of 2020, and an 18-year-old Crow-Armstrong was reporting to the Mets’ spring training site for instructional league training, just four months after they’d selected him with their first pick of the draft (No. 19 overall). He and a few of his new teammates had arrived in Florida late the night before from the West Coast.

In Jed Hoyer’s tenure as president of baseball operations, he has never before been in this position: Two months before the trade deadline, he fielded questions from reporters about how he’s going to add to the team – and he didn’t feel the need to hedge. “Our [pitching] depth, it’s been tested,” Hoyer said this week. “And we have to assume that that’s not going to stop, that we’ll continue to be tested.

Cubs left-hander Justin Steele had been away from the team long enough. And, to be honest, it was getting uncomfortably hot in Arizona, where he’d been living and rehabbing from season-ending elbow surgery. “It feels great here,” he said of the blustery Chicago weather Tuesday before the Cubs’ 4-3 win against the Rockies in 11 innings. Steele joined the team for the homestand this week at Wrigley Field, reconnecting with the group after his mid-April operation.

Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya’s MRI Tuesday on his strained left oblique revealed a likely four- to six-week timeline before he can return to playing major-league games, according to manager Craig Counsell. “Which means we’re trying to get him back before the all star break,” Counsell said. “That’s probably the goal, see where we get to.”Catcher Reese McGuire, who the Cubs brought up Sunday as they put Amaya on the 10-day injured list, started for the third straight game on Tuesday.
