Don't know if it's been officially announced but Wikipedia has indicated that Astronauts Matthew Dominick and Michael Barratt have been assigned as CDR and PLT respectively on Crew-8.

With two remaining unassigned Group 22 astronauts, is it a given that 4th crew member for Crew-8 is either Cardman or Kim?
Quote from: TJL on 04/09/2023 01:34 pmWith two remaining unassigned Group 22 astronauts, is it a given that 4th crew member for Crew-8 is either Cardman or Kim?I thought the fourth seat would go to a Russian cosmonaut, unless the barter agreement expires by Crew-8.
If you look at the first post of this topic, it shows Alexander Grebenkin of Roscosmos on Crew-8.
For the fourth seat whose turn would it be for crew rotation ? NASA ? CSA ? another agency ?
I think NASA has known for quite a while and told the ISS partner agencies that Crew-8 would have to be H1 2024 and therefore before Starliner-1, although this is not yet official. ...
Target Launch ManifestNASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test: NET July 21, 2023NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7: NET mid-August 2023NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8: NET February 2024NASA’s Boeing Starliner-1: NET Summer 2024...NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8NASA and SpaceX’s eighth rotational mission to the space station is planned for no earlier than February 2024. An integrated crew of four will travel to the space station aboard a SpaceX Dragon and Falcon 9 rocket. Hardware allocations for Dragon and Falcon are planned in the coming months. Once crew members are assigned, operations teams will increase crew training activities specific to the mission, including spacesuit production and testing.
NASA will announce its Crew-8 astronauts next week. Spoiler alert: Jeanette Epps finally gets to fly. (Yes!) Launching NET February 2024. This pushes the first operational Starliner crew mission to NET August 2024

Image taken from the GCTC page(Bold is mine)Joint training of backup crews took place in the CPC| PreparationApril 26, 2023The duplicating crew of the ISS-70, like the main crew, continues to prepare for the upcoming expedition. Yesterday, astronauts and astronauts "fixed" accidents aboard the ISS.For the backup crew of manned transport spaceship "Soyuz" Alexei Ovchinin, Oleg Platonov and Tracy Dyson, and "doubles" mission Crew-7 consisting of Matthew Dominic, Michael Barratt, Janette Epps and Alexander Grebenkin specialists simulated two scenarios of major emergency situations in the Russian segment of the station. One of the accidents the cosmonauts and astronauts had to parry, working together.They successfully handled the situation of depressurization on the ISS RS simulator. After searching for a leaky compartment, the crews repaired the malfunction.Astronauts and astronauts showed high results in this part of the test. The actions of Crew-7 mission duplicators were evaluated by the committee, and the crew of Soyuz spacecraft continued training.The next emergency situation, which was introduced by the Center instructors, was a "fire" on the station. Having analyzed the situation, the crew decided to "leave" the ISS on the manned spacecraft.Astronauts and astronauts moved from the hall of the Russian segment of the station to the simulator of Soyuz spacecraft. Wearing gas masks, Alexey Ovchinin, Oleg Platonov and Tracy Dyson donned spacesuits and took their places in the spacecraft. Then the crew performed "undocking" from the station and "urgent descent" to Earth.====================So probably they will be the astronauts assigned to the Crew-8 flight
