Matt Shaw Returning to Chicago
Matt Shaw is set to rejoin the MLB roster prior to their contest against the Miami Marlins on Monday evening. Jon Heyman of the New York Post noted that the Cubs may look for a trade partner for infielder Nicky Lopez, as he is not traveling with the team to Miami. Shaw was able to make the Opening Day roster but was shortly optioned back to Triple-A after he posted a modest .172/.294/.241 slash line with just one long ball across his first 18 games. However, since returning to Triple-A Iowa, Shaw has been very productive. Through 24 games, the Maryland product has posted a stellar .284/.409/.560 slash line with five doubles, six home runs, five stolen bases, and an 11:17 K:BB. Fantasy managers should expect him to have an everyday role at the hot corner with Jon Berti serving as the No. 2 option. Given his five-category upside, he should be started in all 12+ team formats.
