Straw is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Straw has started 98 games in center field for Cleveland this season, but he has two hits in his past 20 at-bats and will sit Sunday for the second time in the past three contests. Will Brennan will shift to center field while Oscar Gonzalez starts in right.

Straw isn't in the Guardians' lineup Friday against the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Straw is 0-for-10 with three strikeouts across his last three games, so he'll take a day off Friday to regroup. Will Brennan will slide over to center field in Straw's absence, allowing Oscar Gonzalez to start in right field and bat seventh.

Straw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Phillies, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Straw went 2-for-3 with a double, one run scored and two steals in Wednesday's loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The center fielder singled to lead off the top of the fifth before swiping both second and third base and eventually coming around to score on a double from Amed Rosario. Straw added a double in his next at-bat and has now hit safely in four straight contests. He's batting .500 (6-for-12) over that stretch while his two steals Wednesday were his first since May 18.

Straw is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Straw will take a seat in the series opener while manager Terry Francona opens up a spot in the outfield for David Fry for the second time in three games after Fry slugged a home run in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers. Will Brennan will shift over to Straw's usual spot in center field while Fry covers right field.

Straw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Straw started the past 28 games but will hit the bench Sunday against Brewers ace Corbin Burnes. Will Brennan will slide over to center field with Gabriel Arias starting in right.

Straw went 3-for-6 with a double and one run scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Straw has shown some improved hitting lately, going 11-for-39 (.282) over his last 10 games. He has four multi-hit efforts in that span after having none of them from May 5-29. The light-hitting outfielder still has no home runs this year while slashing .240/.313/.309 with 10 stolen bases, 11 RBI and 25 runs scored over 61 contests. He hasn't attempted a steal since May 18 -- that's not good for fantasy when his primary claim to relevance is his speed.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
