MYLES STRAW NEWS

Getting day off Straw is not in the Guardians' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

Impact Chicago is throwing tough righty Dylan Cease, so it's not a bad time for a rare day off for Straw. Will Brennan will slide over to center field and Gabriel Arias will play right.

Swipes 10th bag Straw went 0-for-2 with a steal in Thursday's 3-1 victory over the White Sox.

Impact Straw took second without a throw in the seventh inning, but was stranded in scoring position. The center fielder did not collect a hit, but reached on a walk and fielder's choice Thursday. The 10 stolen bases makes Straw a fantasy candidate. However, he doesn't provide value anywhere else with a .231 average. Plus, he hasn't hit a home run since 2021.

Swipes bag Saturday Straw went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Angels.

Impact Straw started the season well, but he's hitting just .118 through 11 games in May. His steal was his first since April 29 -- it's tough for the outfielder to be a speed threat when he's struggling to get on base. He's down to a .226/.312/.266 slash line for the season while adding nine steals, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and five doubles without a home run through 38 contests.

Produces steal Saturday Straw went 2-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Straw went 14 games without earning a free pass before his two-walk game Saturday. The outfielder's steal was his first since April 15, and he's up to eight thefts in nine tries this season. He's enjoying a rebound this year with a .276/.364/.310 slash line, seven RBI, 12 runs scored and three doubles through 26 contests. Straw will likely never hit for much power, but he can be a solid one-tricky pony with his speed if he gets on base often enough.

Impact Straw got Cleveland on the board in the second with an RBI single and proceeded to record his seventh steal of the season. He also tied the game at 3-3 with another run-scoring knock in the third. After hitting safely in 10 straight games, Straw came into Saturday's contest with back-to-back 0-for-4 performances, so his first three-hit outing of the year certainly suggests he's snapped out of his minor slump.

Sitting out Tuesday Straw is absent from the Guardians' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact It's just a breather for Straw, who had started each of his team's first 11 contests. The 28-year-old leads baseball with his six stole bases and is batting .343. Will Brennan will get a start in center field, with Oscar Gonzalez covering right.

Notches fifth steal Straw went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base Wednesday's 6-4 extra-inning win over Oakland.

Impact Straw continued his strong start to the season, extending his hitting streak to six games and reaching base three times overall. The speedy outfielder also swiped his fifth bag of the campaign, tying him for the top mark in the majors. Straw's speed is tantalizing, but he posted a poor .291 on-base percentage last season en route to 21 thefts. By contrast, Straw has reached in over half of his plate appearances thus far in 2023, and he should be an elite source of steals if he can continue to find ways to get on base.

Adds another steal Sunday Straw went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Impact Straw has hit safely in three straight games while regularly slotting in at the bottom of the order. He's 3-for-13 with three walks, two steals and two runs scored over four contests this season. Straw had a decent 9.2 percent walk rate in 2022, but he struggled to a .291 on-base percentage. He'll need more than just good plate discipline to be more than a speed-only option in fantasy.

Nabs first steal of season Straw went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Mariners.

Impact Cleveland went 3-for-3 on steal attempts in total against Cal Raleigh and Seattle's pitchers, and given the Guardians' speed up and down the lineup, they could be one of the clubs that benefits most from MLB's rule changes to boost the running game. Straw's grip on the starting job in center field could be tenuous, especially if Will Brennan produces when given the chance, but after stealing 21 bags in 2022 despite a .291 OBP, the 28-year-old figures to be active on the basepaths again this season.
