MYLES STRAW NEWS

Outrighted to Columbus Straw cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Columbus.

Impact Straw spent the vast majority of the season with Columbus, slashing .240/.321/.329 with 47 RBI across 434 plate appearances. Now that the 30-year-old outfielder no longer has a spot on the 40-man roster, it's unlikely he makes a significant contribution to the Guardians in 2025 -- barring a drastic turnaround at the plate.

Sent back to minors The Guardians optioned Straw to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

Impact He gave Cleveland a little outfield protection while it was without Steven Kwan (back) but will lose his roster spot now that Kwan is back in the fold. Straw has spent virtually the entire season at Columbus, posting a .651 OPS with 30 stolen bases.

Two steals in Sunday's loss Straw went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact This was Straw's first start since he joined the big club Sept. 17, as he got to play with Lane Thomas getting some rest. Straw has often appeared off the bench, playing in six games, but he's 1-for-3 with two steals and two runs scored. His speed and defense will be a benefit for the Guardians over the final week of the regular season, but there's no guarantee Straw gets a spot on the postseason roster.

Placed on waivers Straw has been placed on waivers by the Guardians, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Straw will undoubtedly clear waivers given that he's still owed about $20 million, but he has options remaining and it sounds like he could be left off the Opening Day roster. If that's the case, the Guardians would appear ready to roll with a combination of Estevan Florial, Ramon Laureano and Tyler Freeman in center field.

Fourth straight multi-hit game Straw went 2-for-3 with a steal and a walk in Saturday's 8-0 loss to the Tigers.

Impact Straw reached base three times in the contest but was left stranded on each occasion as the Guardians got shut out on the road. The center fielder has now recorded two hits in four consecutive games, though he's surprisingly failed to score or drive in a run over that stretch. He also swiped a bag for the second straight game to give him 20 stolen bases for the season, with 10 of those coming in September.

Posts steal Friday Straw went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.

Impact Straw is showing some life at the plate with three straight multi-hit efforts. Before this burst, he'd gone just 6-for-46 (.130) over his first 18 games in September. The center fielder has maintained decent speed with 19 steals in 25 attempts this season, but his paltry .235/.297/.294 slash line with one home run, 29 RBI and 52 runs scored has left plenty to be desired. Despite the poor numbers, he's played in 146 contests.
