Matt Shaw - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting out Friday Shaw is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Shaw was swinging a hot bat for a stretch in late July, but he is just 3-for-15 to begin August, bringing his season average down to .222 across 287 plate appearances. The 23-year-old will sit for the second time in five games as Willi Castro takes over at third base and bats seventh against right-hander Michael McGreevy.

Getting Sunday off Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Shaw had started at third base in each of the last seven games, but he'll cede the hot corner to trade-deadline pickup Willi Castro on Sunday as the Cubs look to go for the series victory. Since the All-Star break, Shaw has produced a 1.014 OPS, and his improved production in his second stint of the season in the big leagues should be enough to help him stave off Castro for a regular spot in the Chicago lineup.

He's batting .474 (9-for-19) since the All-Star break, adding two steals, four runs and six RBI to his long balls, but he still has a lot of work to do to climb out of the hole he dug prior to the Midsummer Classic -- over his last 25 games before the break, Shaw slashed a woeful .107/.198/.147.
