• Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Shines in Saturday's loss

  08/30/2025 • By RotoWire

  Straw went 3-for-3 with a double in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Brewers. Getting a start in center field with Daulton Varsho (hand) sidelined, Straw not only had a perfect day at the plate, he make an impact on defense as well, robbing a home run from Jackson Chourio in the first inning in a game that was tied 1-1 until the ninth inning. Straw has been used mainly as a late-inning defensive replacement of late, but he's come through when called upon, batting .333 (14-for-42) in August with two doubles, two homers, three steals, seven RBI and 10 runs in 23 games.

• Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Swipes two bags

  08/20/2025 • By RotoWire

  Straw went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, two steals and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Pirates. Straw is now up to 11 steals for the season and he has six hits in his last three games, with three of those knocks going for extra bases. Straw's .263 average and .675 OPS are both his best marks since he played a career-high 158 games in 2021, but there's not a clear path to playing time with Daulton Varsho and now George Springer back in the fold in the outfield.

• Blue Jays' Myles Straw: First career multi-homer game

  08/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Straw went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI in Saturday's 14-2 rout of the Rangers. In his first career multi-homer performance, Straw took Patrick Corbin deep in the second inning for a three-run blast before connecting on a two-run shot in the third off Jon Gray. Straw doubled his home-run total on the season in the process, and he's now up to 10 long balls in 665 career big-league contests. With George Springer back from the IL, Straw will likely be limited to a short-side platoon role and late-inning defensive duties down the stretch. On the season, he's slashing .260/.303/.363 in 103 games with nine steals, 27 RBI and 39 runs.

• Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Back on bench Sunday

  08/10/2025 • By RotoWire

  Straw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. While the Blue Jays went up against left-handed starting pitchers in the previous three contests, Straw was included in the lineup for each of those games and went 2-for-10 with a walk and a run scored. Straw will return to his normal bench role for Sunday's finale while the Dodgers send right-hander Tyler Glasnow to the hill.

• Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Big day in Wednesday's start

  07/31/2025 • By RotoWire

  Straw went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Orioles. The ball was flying at Camden Yards, and Straw's two-run shot off Dean Kremer in the second inning flew comfortably over the left-field fence even though the light-hitting outfielder didn't think he'd gotten all of it as he left the batter's box. It was Straw's first multi-hit performance since June 26, and through 56 plate appearances in July he's slashing .229/.315/.375 with four doubles, one homer, two steals, six RBI and 11 runs. With Daulton Varsho (hamstring) poised to come off the IL this weekend, Straw's playing time will take a major hit, but he seems to have earned a key spot on the bench for the Blue Jays.
