Myles Straw has proven to be a consistent presence for the Toronto Blue Jays this season as a solid outfielder and contact hitter, boasting a .264 average along with one home run and 14 RBIs through 58 games. His defensive prowess, highlighted by his Gold Glove Award last year, was on display as he went errorless until recently when he had to leave a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to an ankle sprain.

Straw was called into action after Jonatan Clase sustained a knee injury from a pitch. Unfortunately, while making a play on a fly ball, he collided with the outfield wall, leading to his early exit. With other key outfielders like Anthony Santander and Daulton Varsho already sidelined, the Blue Jays face a critical test of their outfield depth. Rookie Alan Roden replaced Straw but hasn’t made a significant impact at the plate.
