Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Shines in Saturday's loss
Myles 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
Myles 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
Myles 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: Big day in Wednesday's start
Myles 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 Toronto Blue Jays.

Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Seeing few starts in second half
Myles Straw is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.Straw made four straight starts to close out the first half, but he's faded back into a reserve role coming out of the All-Star break. He's been included in the lineup in just four of Toronto's first 11 second-half contests, and his opportunities may only become scarcer when Daulton Varsho (hamstring) potentially returns from the injured list later this week.

Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Getting fourth straight start
Myles Straw will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Athletics.Straw will pick up his fourth straight start heading into the All-Star break, though Toronto still appears to be viewing him as a part-time player. The last two of his starts have come against left-handed pitching, while his start Friday against Athletics righty Luis Severino came after Joey Loperfido was scratched from the lineup due to an illness. Straw is likely to eventually see his playing time in center field dwindle once Daulton Varsho (hamstring) makes his return from the injured list.

Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Notches steal in win
Myles Straw went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.Straw's playing time remains sporadic, though he was in the lineup for the second game in a row versus a right-handed pitcher. He got the start in center field while Nathan Lukes covered for Joey Loperfido (illness) in left. Straw's biggest asset is his speed, but he's collected just seven steals on eight attempts this year. The outfielder has added a .247/.292/.313 slash line with one home run, 16 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight doubles across 183 plate appearances. While he's holding onto a part-time role for now, there's no guarantee Straw will keep his spot in the majors once the Toronto Blue Jays' outfield gets Daulton Varsho (hamstring) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) back in the fold.

Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Shifting into part-time role
Myles Straw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.After making four starts in center field over a five-game stretch from last Saturday through Thursday, Straw now finds himself on the bench for the second time in three contests. With Nathan Lukes getting more opportunities in center field since being activated from the injured list last weekend, Straw might have to settle for the short side of a platoon at the position until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) returns from the IL.
