Guardians' Myles Straw: Outrighted to Columbus
Myles Straw cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Columbus.Straw spent the vast majority of the season with Columbus, slashing .240/.321/.329 with 29 steals in 30 attempts across 434 plate appearances. Now that the 30-year-old outfielder no longer has a spot on the 40-man roster, it's unlikely he makes a significant contribution to the Cleveland Guardians in 2025 -- barring a drastic turnaround at the plate.

Guardians' Myles Straw: Two steals in Sunday's loss
Myles Straw went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.This was Straw's first start since he joined the big club Sept. 17, as he entered the lineup while Lane Thomas received some rest. Straw has often appeared off the bench, playing in six games, but he's 1-for-3 with two steals and two runs scored. His speed and defense will be a benefit for the Cleveland Guardians over the final week of the regular season, but there's no guarantee Straw gets a spot on the postseason roster.

Guardians' Myles Straw: Rejoins big club
The Cleveland Guardians selected Myles Straw's contract Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.Straw is still on the Guardians' books through 2026 after inking a five-year, $25 million extension in April 2022, but he was cast off the 40-man roster coming out of spring training and has spent the entire 2024 campaign at Columbus. Over 518 plate appearances at Triple-A, the 29-year old slashed .240/.321/.329 with three home runs and 29 stolen bases. Straw still has some value as a defender and baserunner, but his poor plate skills won't help him earn regular playing time as he joins Cleveland for the first time in 2024.

Guardians' Myles Straw: Clears waivers, heads to Triple-A
Myles Straw cleared waivers Sunday and will report to Triple-A Columbus, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Straw was waived Friday, and unsurprisingly, no other teams were interested in putting in a claim for an outfielder who hit a paltry .239 and slugged just .302 over parts of three seasons in Cleveland. He has strong speed and defense, but it'll likely take an injury to another Cleveland Guardians outfielder for Straw to get back in the majors.

Guardians' Myles Straw: Left off Opening Day roster
Myles Straw is not on the Cleveland Guardians' Opening Day roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.The Guardians placed Straw on waivers Friday, and the team has now officially announced its intentions to begin the season without him as part of its outfield unit. Straw is owed roughly $20 million over the next three years, so he will most likely clear waivers and head to Triple-A while Cleveland keeps Estevan Florial, Tyler Freeman and Ramon Laureano as its options in center field.

Guardians' Myles Straw: Placed on waivers
Myles Straw has been placed on waivers by the Cleveland Guardians, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.Straw will undoubtedly clear waivers given that he's still owed about $20 million over the next three years, but he has a minor-league option remaining and it sounds like he could be left off the Opening Day roster. If that's the case, the Guardians would appear ready to roll with a combination of Estevan Florial, Ramon Laureano and Tyler Freeman in center field.

Guardians' Myles Straw: Fourth straight multi-hit game
Myles Straw went 2-for-3 with a steal and a walk in Saturday's 8-0 loss to the Tigers.Straw reached base three times in the contest but was left stranded on each occasion as the Cleveland Guardians got shut out on the road. The center fielder has now recorded two hits in four consecutive games, though he's surprisingly failed to score or drive in a run over that stretch. He also swiped a bag for the second straight game to give him 20 stolen bases for the season, with 10 of those coming in September.
