Shaw (3-1) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw worked in the seventh inning, but he allowed a two-run home run to Christian Arroyo and then put J.D. Martinez on base with a two-out single. Anthony Gose allowed the inherited runner to score, and the Guardians were unable to get Shaw off the hook as the veteran reliever took his first loss of the season. He's allowed four runs in his last three appearances since the end of his 8.2-inning scoreless streak. The 34-year-old has a 4.70 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB across 23 innings overall, and he's added four holds in 30 appearances. Given his recent shakiness, he could start to relinquish some of the high-leverage opportunities he'd earned earlier in the month.

Shaw (3-0) earned the win Wednesday over the Rockies. He struck out one in a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw pitched in the eighth inning, but he was deemed the most effective of four Guardians relievers between starter Konnor Pilkington and closer Emmanuel Clase. This was Shaw's second win in as many outings after he picked up just one victory in the first two months of the campaign. He's at a 3.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB across 21.1 innings in 27 appearances overall. The 34-year-old extended his scoreless streak to 8.2 innings, as he's been in a groove lately.

Shaw (2-0) walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning, earning the win Tuesday versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw pitched the ninth inning with the game tied 3-3, and he kept it that way. The 34-year-old then ended up in line for the win when the Guardians pulled ahead in the 10th inning, and Emmanuel Clase was able to protect the one-run lead. Shaw's scoreless streak is up to 7.2 innings in his last nine appearances. He's allowed four hits and five walks with 10 strikeouts in that span. For the season, the veteran reliever has a 3.54 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 17:10 K:BB and three holds through 20.1 innings.

Shaw has not allowed a run in his last eight appearances spanning 6.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

In that stretch, he's logged a 9:4 K:BB while allowing four hits. Shaw has just three holds on the year and none since May 5, so he's not in the mix for much high-leverage work. He's done well in a less glamorous role, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB across 19.1 innings overall, serving as a trusty veteran in a bullpen not lacking for solid pitching. The Guardians' 2.98 bullpen ERA as a team ranks fourth-best in the majors.

Shaw allowed a hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw's season numbers are skewed by one bad outing -- he allowed five runs without recording an out May 13 versus the White Sox. He's only allowed three other runs in the rest of his 17 appearances this season, but that one meltdown puts him at a 5.27 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 13.2 innings. The 34-year-old right-hander has added a 1-0 record and three holds, though he's not likely to see save chances all that frequently.

Shaw (1-0) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw kept the Guardians within a run in the eighth inning, and they took the lead in the bottom half of the frame. The 34-year-old reliever has been solid this year, posting a 1.80 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 10 innings in 13 appearances. He's yet to allow a home run after surrendering 10 long balls in 81 appearances last season. Shaw has added three holds, though it's unlikely he'll challenge Emmanuel Clase for the closer job.

Shaw pitched a perfect inning in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw worked the seventh inning after starter Shane Bieber tossed six innings of one-run ball. This was the first time in five outings Shaw has been tasked with a full inning of work, and he's allowed just one run, two hits and three walks with two strikeouts across 2.2 innings this season. In 2021, he picked up a 6-7 record, 20 holds, two saves and six blown saves, but the 34-year-old's not currently part of the Guardians' late-inning mix.

Shaw signed a contract with the Guardians on Wednesday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw spent the 2021 season with Cleveland, appearing in 81 games and posting a 3.49 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 77.1 innings. The veteran reliever converted two out of eight save opportunities while also recording 20 holds on the season. His 6-7 record and 71:38 strikeout to walk ratio from last season along with his inability to close games makes him an unattractive bullpen option.

Shaw recorded a perfect inning and earned a hold in Monday's 8-3 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

This is the fifth season in which Shaw has picked up 20 holds, although it's his first such campaign since 2017. The right-hander has pitched to a 3.48 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 69:36 K:BB across 75 innings this season, often working in high-leverage spots. While he's had some struggles in September, he's now pitched 3.2 consecutive scoreless innings in his last four games.

Shaw allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one inning during Saturday's 11-3 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has given up six runs across 10.1 innings with a 7:4 K:BB in nine appearances in September. Entering the month, he had a 3.30 ERA, but it's ticked up to 3.58 after this recent run of inconsistency in which he's allowed runs in four of nine appearances. Shaw has posted a 1.41 WHIP and 69:36 K:BB with a 6-7 record, two saves, 18 holds and five blown saves through 72 appearances, but he's unlikely to serve as much more than a setup man to closer Emmanuel Clase.
