• The 24-year-old hit .550 (11-for-20) with four homers, seven RBI, a double, a triple, four walks, five runs scored, two stolen bases, a 1.300 slugging percentage and a .600 on-base percentage in five games.
• The Sherman Oaks, California native led the Majors in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, OPS (1.900) and total bases (26); tied for first in extra-base hits; and tied for second in homers and hits.
• The 2025 All-Star hit for the cycle on Monday against Colorado, marking the 13^th cycle in Cubs’ history. He became Chicago’s first player to hit for a reverse cycle (hitting a home run, triple, double and single in order) and became the first Cubs player since Hall of Famer Andre Dawson on April 29, 1987 to complete a cycle within his first four plate appearances. After a game-tying sacrifice fly from Crow-Armstrong in the ninth inning, Chicago came back to win the game in walk-off fashion as Crow-Armstrong became the 22^nd player since 1901 to hit for the cycle in a game that his Club won via a walk-off.
• The 2025 Rawlings Gold Glover followed up his cycle with homers on Tuesday and Wednesday, becoming the sixth player in Major League history to hit for the cycle and homer in his next two games, per Elias. He joined: Aaron Hill (June 18-20, 2012); Mike Phillips (June 25-27, 1976); Hall of Famer Willie Stargell (July 22-26, 1964); Hall of Famer Joe Medwick (June 29-July 2, 1935); and Hall of Famer George Sisler (August 8-10, 1920).
• The 19^th overall pick in the 2020 Draft (by NYM) has hit safely in each of his last 10 games and has reached base in each of his last 23 games since May 26^th. During the 25-game stretch he is batting .412/.468/.835 with 10 homers, 17 RBI and a 1.303 OPS. His current 10-game hitting streak is the second-longest of his career behind a 12-game hitting streak from May 26^th-June 7^th, while his 23-game on-base streak is the longest of his career, surpassing a 15-game stretch in May 2025.

• The right-hander followed with 6.1 innings on Sunday against Boston, permitting a run on three hits with two walks and eight strikeouts.

PLAY OF THE WEEK
Home Run Robbery by Colby Thomas of the Athletics
June 21st at Sutter Health Park – Watch It Here

Athletics outfielder Colby Thomas earned his first career Play of the Week Award, marking the 11^th award for the Athletics since the inception of the award in 2019. The Athletics’ 11 awards are tied with Toronto for fourth-most among all Clubs, trailing only Baltimore (14); Atlanta (12); and Milwaukee (12). It is the first award for the A’s since Denzel Clarke garnered honors in four consecutive weeks last June. Thomas is the seventh A’s player to earn the award, joining Ramón Laureano (4/21/2019); Elvis Andrus (4/5/2021); Tony Kemp (2x: 5/24/2021 & 5/16/2022); Matt Chapman (6/16/2021); Max Schuemann (5/13/2024); and Clarke (6/2, 6/9, 6/16 & 6/23/2025). With two outs in the top of the first inning, Jo Adell hammered a ball to deep right field as Thomas ranged back and made a leaping catch before landing on top of the wall and falling to the ground. Additional Play of the Week candidates included Michael Massey and Tyler Tolbert’s combined effort for the out; Eli White’s game-saving outfield assist; Jordan Walker’s home run robbery; Nasim Nuñez’s nice diving snag; Jacob Wilson’s diving stop; and Connor Wong’s diving tag at home plate to end the inning.
