Smashes home run Monday Shaw went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 12-4 loss to the Royals.
Impact Shaw is showing some signs of life lately, as he's now riding a modest four-game hitting streak, and he's gone 6-for-11 during the stretch. The rookie is still batting just .216 overall, and the Cubs may target a veteran third baseman before the trade deadline as his replacement, but Shaw does have the talent to get hot. His fantasy value is higher in dynasty formats at the moment, though the 23-year-old could still deliver some production down the stretch this year depending on his role.

Tallies pair of hits off bench Shaw went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's victory over Boston.
Impact Shaw began Saturday's game on the bench but entered as a substitute for Vidal Brujan at third base and tallied two hits, including a solo homer in the seventh inning. The rookie has endured a rocky start to his MLB career, slashing .208/.283/.302 with 14 extra-base hits, 16 RBI and 12 stolen bases across 65 games. While the numbers are underwhelming, it's still too early to dismiss the once highly-regarded prospect.

Benched for third straight game Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Shaw will close out of the Cubs' first-half schedule having been held out of the lineup for three consecutive games and four of the last five contests while he's managed just one hit in 26 at-bats to begin July. Vidal Brujan will get the start at third base after Jon Berti filled in for Shaw over the past two contests, but the Cubs may look to the trade market for an upgrade at the position leading up to the July 31 deadline if the organization isn't convinced that Shaw will be able to improve his offensive production coming out of the All-Star break.

Candidate to get replaced at third? The Cubs may target third base help before the trade deadline, which would bump Shaw from a regular starting role, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Most of Chicago's regulars have hit well this season, but Shaw has been inconsistent. While the rookie has shown flashes of promise after a slow start to the year, he's still slashing just .200/.278/.283 through 205 at-bats. Over the 23-year-old's last 20 games, that's dipped to .127/.219/.175. With the Cubs sitting in first place in the NL Central and realistically in the mix for a World Series this season, the front office may decide to shore up the hot corner in the short term, with the likes of Eugenio Suarez and Ke'Bryan Hayes some potential targets. An addition at third would push Shaw out of his starting job and cut into his already diminished fantasy appeal this year, though he remains an intriguing long-term prospect.
