Straw went 3-for-4 with one run scored and one steal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy outfielder was busy on the bases Sunday as he recorded three hits and a steal, his 17th on the season. While the three hits were a positive sign, all three were singles. Straw has now failed to record an extra-base hit in his last 93 at-bats and is slugging just .253 on the season.

Straw went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Straw delivered an RBI single in the second inning and added another hit and a steal in the ninth. The outfielder has had an awful last few weeks, going 10-for-89 (.112) in 27 contests since the start of August. He's occasionally lost playing time in center field to Will Benson, though it's fair to say Straw is still drawing more starts than he should given his extended slump. For the season, the 27-year-old is slashing just .199/.274/.249 with no home runs, 24 RBI, 57 runs scored and 16 steals through 125 games.

Straw went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in a 4-1 win over the Tigers in the first game of Monday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Straw entered the game in an 0-for-22 slump, and he hadn't drawn a walk in that span. He hadn't stolen a base since July 4, but the two-steal effort Monday gave him 15 in 16 attempts this season. Through 110 contests, Straw is slashing .207/.284/.263 with 22 RBI and 56 runs scored, though his recent struggles could lead to a reduction in playing time if he can't build off Monday's effort.
