2026 Fantasy Outlook
Straw landed in Toronto last winter and the club hoped he would be a platoon outfielder and pinch runner, and Straw admirably fulfilled that role. He played stellar defense when in the lineup against lefties and was 12 of 13 in his stolen base attempts while hitting for his highest batting average in three seasons. The baserunning and surrounding case also helped him score 51 runs, but that is where this good story ends. Straw's days as a regular player are over as long as he plays out his current contract in Toronto, which is now in its last guaranteed season with two option years controlled by the club after that. Straw's 2026 role will be on the short side of the platoon with Nathan Lukes and to fill in as a defensive replacement in right field on nights Anthony Santander is out there. Straw is truly only an option for deeper AL-Only leagues as a one-category player who does not get enough playing time nor have enough bat to help anywhere else. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $25 million contract extension with the Guardians in April of 2022. Traded to the Blue Jays in January of 2025. Contract includes $8 million team option ($1.75 million buyout) for 2027 and $8.5 million team option ($500,000 buyout) for 2028.
Plays hero in 10th inning Tuesday
Straw went 1-for-1 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Brewers.
Analysis
The depth outfielder pinch ran for Eloy Jimenez in the top of the ninth inning and came around to tie the game at 4-4, but the game got wild from there. Straw came to the plate in the 10th with runners on first and second with the Jays up 7-6, and he brought both home with a two-bagger into the left-field corner in what wound up a 9-7 victory. Straw has been used frequently as a pinch runner and defensive replacement, but he has just 17 plate appearances in 12 games to begin the season, batting .375 (6-for-16) with two RBI and six runs.

Stat Review
How does Myles Straw compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
Straw has turned in three straight seasons of 20 or more stolen bases, but the total absence of power makes him tough to roster in most fantasy formats. The 29-year-old has hit one home run over the last two seasons and has a total of six career home runs in 1,976 big-league plate appearances. His defense -- long his calling card -- did not grade as well last year, and while he still cleared 500 plate appearances for the season, Straw's role was scaled back in the second half. He simply does not do enough else with the bat to allow his speed to play for fantasy managers, and his playing time is likely to continue to trend downward in 2024. For now, he remains atop the depth chart in center field for the Guardians.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Worth monitoring
Straw has stolen four bases through Cleveland's first five games. He swiped 21 bags in 152 games last season.
Analysis
Straw is heralded as a base-stealing threat, but the quantity didn't overshadow his .221 batting average with zero homers last season. The tide could be shifting, however, as Straw has been running wild early in conjunction with a 5-for-16 start at the dish. His expected batting average of .236 last season implies Straw could provide palatable numbers to fantasy managers in need of steals.
