Hitting to all fields: Did Travis Shaw spark Red Sox revival? Just sitting and wondering if Travis Shaw sparked a Red Sox revival.

AUGUST 25, 2021 • MASSLIVE.COM

Homers again Shaw went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Twins.

Impact Shaw led off the bottom of the third inning with the homer, his eighth of the season. He's now gone yard in back-to-back games, though he didn't start Monday. Shaw's playing time is already limited by the fact that he will sit against left-handed pitching, though his struggles to find consistent plate appearances could only worsen due to the return of Christian Arroyo. If Arroyo takes over the primary duties at second base, Enrique Hernandez will likely shift to the outfield, which could in turn push Kyle Schwarber to first base -- Shaw's primary avenue to playing time.

Walks it off Monday Shaw went 1-for-2 with a walkoff grand slam in Monday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

Impact He entered the game in the eighth inning after Bobby Dalbec was lifted for a pinch hitter and, after popping out in the ninth, Shaw got to play the hero when he hammered a 3-2 pitch from Dennis Santana into the right-field seats in the 11th. The veteran infielder has only picked up five at-bats since being claimed off waivers by Boston over a week ago, and even after Monday's walkoff blast, Shaw will likely struggle to find consistent playing time on a crowded roster.

Sitting against lefty again Shaw is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Since Boston claimed Shaw off waivers from Milwaukee and added him to the active roster last week, the team has encountered a heavy stretch of games versus left-handed starting pitchers. As a result, the lefty-hitting Shaw has been limited to just one start at first base, and he'll sit once again in favor of the righty-hitting Bobby Dalbec with southpaw Kolby Allard on the bump for Texas. Manager Alex Cora suggested Monday that outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber could see his first action at first base later in the week and eventually settle in as the primary option at the position, so Shaw's opportunities could dry up quickly even when the Red Sox begin to face more right-handed pitchers.

Remains on bench Shaw isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rangers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Even though the Red Sox are facing a second consecutive right-hander Saturday, Shaw will be out of the lineup for a third straight game. Bobby Dalbec will remain at first base and bat ninth.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Friday's lineup Shaw is not starting Friday against the Rangers.

Impact Shaw unsurprisingly took a seat against left-hander Andrew Heaney on Wednesday, and he'll now remain on the bench despite Texas sending right-hander Dane Dunning to the hill. Bobby Dalbec draws the start at first base and will bat ninth.

Idle versus lefty Shaw is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Manager Alex Cora is rolling out a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Yankees southpaw Andrew Heaney in the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Shaw will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader. Bobby Dalbec will pick up the start at first base Wednesday and should continue to play regularly versus left-handed pitching.

Heading back to Boston Shaw (shoulder) was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox on Sunday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Shaw was nearing his return from a dislocated shoulder before being designated for assignment by the Brewers on Friday, and he'll rejoin the Red Sox after being claimed off waivers. The 31-year-old had a solid start to the season for Milwaukee, but he posted a .146/.239/.244 slash line in his final 29 games before landing on the injured list in early June. He was immediately added to Boston's 40-man roster and figures to see most of his action at first base since Rafael Devers is locked into the starting role at the hot corner.

DFA'd during rehab The Brewers designated Shaw (shoulder) for assignment Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Shaw, who's gone 9-for-33 with seven walks and eight RBI in 11 rehab games, is expected back from the injured list soon after dislocating his shoulder June 9. The 31-year-old, with his veteran presence and defensive versatility, could be an attractive target on waivers for teams searching for infield depth. Before suffering the shoulder injury, Shaw slashed .191/.279/.337 with six home runs and 28 RBI in 202 plate appearances with the Brewers this season.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Slams two homers in rehab game Shaw (shoulder) went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in his rehab appearance for Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact Through the first eight games of his rehab assignment, Shaw is slashing an impressive .304/.448/.565 with a 5:6 BB:K. Shaw looks to have made a full recovery from a dislocated left shoulder and is eligible to join the Brewers for their upcoming series in Chicago against the Cubs, but it's unclear if he'll be activated immediately. Following the trade-deadline pickup of Eduardo Escobar, Shaw won't have a path to everyday at-bats at third base, and he may not have much value to the Brewers as a left-handed option off the bench.

Rehabbing at Triple-A Shaw (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Impact Shaw won't be eligible to return from the 60-day injured list until the second week of August, so he'll likely appear in several games for Nashville before the Brewers activate him. Since Shaw went down with the dislocated left shoulder, Luis Urias has heated up at the plate while taking control of the everyday gig at third base. Shaw and Urias could be forced to compete for reps at the position once the former is activated, if Milwaukee doesn't add another impact infielder to take on a regular role prior to Friday's trade deadline.

Rehab starting soon Shaw (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment next week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Shaw has been out since early June with a dislocated shoulder. He's set for a fairly lengthy rehab assignment, as he's ineligible to return from the 60-day injured list until Aug. 9.

JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Batting practice coming soon Shaw (shoulder) will begin on-field batting practice Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact A dislocated shoulder has kept Shaw sidelined since early June. If his shoulder responds well to batting practice, he'll advance to a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville soon after, though he won't be eligible to return to big-league action until Aug. 9, as he's been placed on the 60-day injured list.
