Straw had just entered the contest as a defensive replacement after Jonatan Clase was hit by a pitch in the right knee. The 30-year-old was attempting to track down Josh Naylor’s fifth-inning fly ball when he slammed into the center-field wall at full speed. He was replaced by rookie Alan Roden in center field. He’ll presumably undergo evaluation for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

Schneider noted that Roden would have been available off of the Jays’ bench in an emergency situation on Thursday. It sounds like he should be ready to return to action on Friday, though his viability for fantasy purposes may be going away soon with Daulton Varsho nearing a return from the injured list.

Roden was set to start in left with Myles Straw (ankle) unavailable, but his own trouble will keep him out of Thursday’s lineup. Will Robertson will instead get the start and hit eighth against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.

The bad news is Straw will be out for another game after being removed Tuesday with his ankle injury. The good news is that Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that Straw’s injury isn’t likely to necessitate a trip to the injured list. He’ll take a seat with Jonatan Clase (knee) back in the lineup in center and Alan Roden playing left field.

Crow-Armstrong took Brewers ace Freddy Peralta deep in the opening frame for his 20th round-tripper of the year to become the first member of the 20-homer, 20-steal club this season. The 23-year-old breakout sensation has slowed down slightly bit in recent weeks, but he’s still hitting .275 (33-for-120) with nine big flies and 10 steals over his last 30 games. He’s the real deal.

For the first time all season, Grisham had a sub-.800 OPS at the conclusion of Wednesday’s game. He’s back over that mark now, though, having collected his first homer since May 30 and his second since May 12. He’s likely in store for less playing time now that the Yankees have Giancarlo Stanton back, but the team will still want his glove in center field rather frequently.

Buxton hit his first homer to leadoff the game off Nick Martinez, and the 31-year-old took Martinez deep again an inning later. He’s up to 15 homers in 2025, and he’s gone deep in three consecutive contests. When Buxton is healthy, there are few players who match the talent. The question is not if he can keep this up, but if he can be on the field enough to do so. It’s a lot of fun to watch him right now, regardless.
