Is Myles Straw Breaking Out Of His Slump? Myles Straw is showing signs that he is starting to turn it around on offense after the difficult first half of the season.
JULY 11, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Delivers three hits Straw went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Royals.
Impact Straw has started to find his swing again, going 7-for-16 (.438) across his last four games. With the Guardians in control of this contest, he exited for pinch runner Oscar Mercado in the sixth inning. After spending a week below the Mendoza Line, Straw's batting average is up to .206 with Saturday's three-hit effort. He's added 45 runs scored, 13 stolen bases, 10 RBI, 13 doubles and a triple in 80 contests. The speedy outfielder is still getting on base too infrequently to make consistent use of his best tool.

Posts steal in loss Straw went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in a 13-4 loss to the Yankees in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact Straw didn't record a hit in either game of the twin bill, but he made a contribution in the matinee with an RBI on a fielder's choice. He hasn't had a multi-hit effort since June 22, and the lackluster hitting is likely to keep him at the bottom of the order until he can turn things around. He's slashing .196/.290/.247 with 12 steals, 10 RBI, 44 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple through 74 contests, but the soft-hitting Straw has yet to swat a home run this year.

On base thrice Thursday Straw went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a pair of walks in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Twins.
Impact Straw had a positive finish to an otherwise unimpressive June, a month in which he hit .149 (14-for-94). He added a pair of steals, three RBI, 10 runs scored and three doubles, but the outfielder's slump cost him the leadoff spot in the lineup. For the season, Straw is slashing .202/.298/.255 with no home runs, nine RBI, 44 runs scored and 11 stolen bases. Hitting at the bottom of the order drastically reduces his fantasy potential, especially considering he adds next to nothing in the power categories.

Moved to bottom of lineup Straw will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Twins, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports.
Impact Straw's inclusion at the bottom of the order confirms that he's lost hold of the leadoff gig against both left- and right-handed pitching. After ceding leadoff duties to the lefty-hitting Steven Kwan both of the past two days when the Guardians opposed right-handed starters (Joe Ryan and Sonny Gray), Straw will give way to the righty-hitting Owen Miller atop the lineup Thursday against Twins southpaw Devin Smeltzer. The move down in the lineup comes while Straw has produced a lowly .143/.211/.171 slash line to go with two extra-base hits (both doubles), two stolen bases, eight runs and one RBI over his first 19 games of June.

Two steals in Tuesday's matinee Straw went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in a 6-3 win over the Rangers during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Impact He also made a contribution in the nightcap, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Straw handled his usual leadoff duties in both games, and while his 37 runs plus 11 steals in 12 attempts on the season have value, his .228/.330/.286 slash line, zero homers and seven RBI make him tough to roster in shallower formats.

He's also posted nine doubles and a triple.
