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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Straw went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, two runs scored and a pair of walks in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Straw's steal was his first since May 13. He's struggled a bit at the dish since then, going 10-for-42 (.238) with only one multi-hit effort in his last 11 games. The outfielder is up to 9-for-10 in stolen base attempts this year while adding a .242/.342/.312 slash line, 32 runs scored, six RBI and no home runs in 42 contests. He's also posted nine doubles and a triple.

Since his last multi-hit game on May 7, he'd been stuck in a 3-for-31 skid over his last nine appearances. The 27-year-old outfielder is now slashing .254/.354/.328 with eight doubles and 26 runs scored through 36 games.

Straw went 0-for-2 with three walks, a steal and a run scored in Friday's 12-8 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Straw swiped his eighth bag of the year but he's now fallen into an 0-for-16 slump over his last five appearances. The speedy outfielder is slashing .243/.353/.313 through 136 plate appearances. He's collected four stolen bases in May but he owns a .139 average during that stretch.

Straw went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in an 8-3 loss to the Blue Jays in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy center fielder was then on the bench to begin the nightcap, although he eventually checked into the game as a defensive sub in the seventh inning and went 0-for-1. Straw is taking his duties as Cleveland's leadoff hitter seriously -- his 13.7 percent walk rate is more than three points higher than last year, helping to fuel a .280/.376/.360 slash line that comes with 21 runs scored and seven steals in 27 games.
