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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Straw is out of the lineup Wednesday against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Straw will get a day off after he went 2-for-17 with a run scored and two strikeouts while starting five straight games including both sides of the team's doubleheader with Miami on Saturday. Will Brennan will shift over to center field while Oscar Gonzalez enters the lineup in right field and bats seventh versus the Rockies.

Straw went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Straw got Cleveland on the board in the second inning 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 fourth. 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 stolen bases and is batting .343. Will Brennan will get a start in center field, with Oscar Gonzalez covering right.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Straw went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored, one RBI and two steals in Monday's win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Straw got on base and swiped second in each of the eighth and ninth innings. He also ripped a two-run double in the fourth. The speedy outfielder is 5-for-16 with four stolen bases through five games this season.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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. After stealing 21 bags in 2022 despite a .291 OBP, Straw figures to be active on the basepaths again this season.

Straw (knee) is in the Guardians' lineup for Friday's Cactus League game versus the Brewers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Straw had been set for his Cactus League debut Thursday after missing time with soreness behind his right knee, but he was a late scratch due to wet field conditions. However, it's dry at Goodyear Ballpark in Arizona on Friday, so he's back in there in center field and at the top of the batting order.

Straw (knee) was scratched from the Guardians' lineup Thursday as a precaution due to wet field conditions, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Straw had been slated for his Cactus League debut, but the team thought better of it following some rain at Goodyear Ballpark in Arizona. The good news is that Straw appears to be over the right knee soreness which has slowed him early on in camp. Joe Lampe has taken Straw's spot in center field Thursday.
