Armstrongs points keep him in place for the rookie title even though he's not in one of the three cars (Probably why Penske never went to a fourth car after Pagenaud left) but will they give Rookie of the Year to him or prefer to choose one of the 'full time' drivers rather than Armstrong?
Performance wise he scoops it relatively easily.

I thought season rookie of the year was based on points, unlike the Indy 500 ROY, which Malukus deserved to win in 2022 but didn't do to letting the press vote. Armstrong is 43 points ahead of Canapino heading into Iowa, so it would take two top ten finishes for Augustin to catch up. It's possible that could happen and could leave Armstrong vulnerable since he won't be in the car at Gateway. Both drivers have been impressive.
