Getting fourth straight start Straw will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Impact 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.

Notches steal in win Straw went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

Impact 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 Blue Jays' outfield gets Daulton Varsho (hamstring) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) back in the fold.

Shifting into part-time role Straw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact 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 the lefty-hitting Nathan Lukes getting more opportunities in center field of late since being activated from the 7-day injured list last weekend, the right-handed-hitting Straw might have to settle for the short side of a platoon at the position until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) returns from the 10-day IL.

Swipes sixth bag Straw went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Guardians.

Impact The veteran outfielder continues to get regular playing time while Daulton Varsho (hamstring) remains sidelined. Straw is batting .292 (7-for-24) over his last seven starts dating back to June 11, and on the season he's slashing .272/.303/.346 with one homer, six steals, 14 RBI and 20 runs in 148 plate appearances.

Sitting after three straight starts Straw is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Nathan Lukes will step in as the Blue Jays' center fielder in place of Straw, who had started each of the last three games. While Straw possesses excellent speed and is a reliable defender in center field, he's posted a weak .633 OPS over 144 plate appearances on the season. Expect the Blue Jays to use a rotation of Straw, Lukes and Jonatan Clase in center until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

Back in starting nine Straw (ankle) will bat ninth and play center field Saturday against the White Sox.

Impact Straw is part of the lineup for the first time since suffering a sprained ankle Tuesday. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .264/.294/.339 with 18 runs scored and 14 RBI in 131 plate appearances this season.

Still out of lineup Straw (ankle) isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Straw sustained a sprained ankle Tuesday and has been held out of the lineup for three consecutive games since. Still, manager John Schneider said Thursday that he expects Straw to avoid an IL stint. Nathan Lukes, Jonatan Clase and Addison Barger will fill the outfield from left to right.

Expected to avoid IL Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Straw (ankle) is feeling better and is expected to avoid a stint on the injured list, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Straw sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks and will remain out of the lineup Thursday for a second straight game, but he looks to be trending toward being available for this weekend's series with the White Sox. Jonatan Clase exited that same game with a knee injury, but he's back in the lineup Thursday as the Blue Jays' starting center fielder. Once Straw overcomes his ankle injury, he'll likely occupy the short side of a platoon with Clase in center until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) is cleared to come off the IL.

Not ready to start Wednesday Straw (ankle) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Straw and Jonatan Clase (knee) had been operating in a platoon in center field of late while Daulton Varsho (hamstring) is on the shelf, but neither will start Wednesday after both exited in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 5-4 win with injuries. Straw was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after colliding with the outfield wall while making a defensive play Tuesday, but the severity of his injury isn't yet known. George Springer will step in as the Blue Jays' center fielder Wednesday while both Straw and Clase are on the bench.

Collides with wall, exits game Straw was removed from Tuesday's game versus Arizona after colliding with the center field wall, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Straw entered the game in the fifth inning to replace Jonatan Clase (knee), but the former was forced out of the game immediately after crashing into the wall later in the frame. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the Blue Jays should have some more information on his status in the near future.

Back on bench vs. RHP Straw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Straw will hit the bench for the series finale after he started in each of the Blue Jays' previous four games while going 2-for-13 with an RBI and a run. The last three of Straw's starts came against left-handed pitching, and he looks set to fill the short side of a platoon in center field with Jonatan Clase for the foreseeable future until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) comes off the injured list.
