Shaw was tendered a contract by the Indians before the Tuesday night deadline. Shaw emerged as Cody Allen's primary setup man in 2014, striking out 64 batters in 76.3 innings, with a franchise-record 8-0 appearances out of the bullpen and figures to fill the same role again in 2015.

Shaw tossed 2.3 shutout innings in relief and struck out three batters en route to claiming his fifth victory of the season in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the White Sox. Pitching for the sixth time in seven games, Shaw was asked to stay in the game longer than normal due to the game heading to extra innings. Shaw will almost certainly receive the next day or two off given his heavy workload, but his 2.44 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 65 appearances this season will continue to entrench him as closer Cody Allen's top setup man.

Pitching for the third day in a row, Shaw threw a scoreless inning in relief Sunday against the Yankees. Shaw's ERA dropped to 2.68 with the outing. Though he didn't get a hold Sunday (the Indians had a four-run lead at the time), Shaw has 15 holds on the season.

Bryan Shaw was called on to save Sunday's game against the Rays, pitching a scoreless ninth to preserve the Indians' 6-5 win. With John Axford scuffling, Shaw converted his second save of the season with a perfect ninth inning. The right-hander owns a 1.45 ERA and 0.86 WHIP, and Axford's struggles have opened the door for him to receive more save chances going forward. Pay attention to who gets the call the next time the Indians have a save opportunity, but closer-needy owners should grab Shaw as a speculative add in all formats.

Bryan Shaw picked up his first save of the season in Tuesday's win over the Twins, allowing one unearned run in one inning of work. Shaw got the save opportunity as closer John Axford had pitched in three consecutive days with poor results. Axford doesn't appear to have job insecurity at the moment, but that could change with a couple more shaky outings. In that case, Shaw and Cody Allen would be the top candidates for save chances. Shaw allowed the one run as a result of Asdrubal Cabrera's fielding error with two outs in the ninth, prolonging the game. It was followed up by an Eduardo Escobar RBI double.

Bryan Shaw boasts a 1.54 ERA over 18 appearances in his first season for the Indians. Acquired from the Diamondbacks as a bit player in January's complicated three-team trade, Shaw has been a linchpin in Cleveland's bullpen, compiling a 1.07 WHIP and 23/7 K/BB ratio in 23 1/3 innings. He's only earned two holds, however, and they came in consecutive appearances earlier this month.

Indians acquired RHP Bryan Shaw from the Diamondbacks in a three-team trade. Shaw pitched well for the D'Backs in 2011 but was up and down from the majors and minors this past season, posting a 3.49 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with the big club. He'll slide into a middle relief role in Cleveland.

Diamondbacks recalled RHP Bryan Shaw from Triple-A Reno. Shaw has struggled in his time with the D'Backs this season, posting a 4.26 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 43 appearances. He'll return to his familiar middle relief role.

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Bryan Shaw to Triple-A Reno. Shaw was a pretty big part of the D'Backs' bullpen down the stretch last season, but he's struggled to put it together this year, posting a 4.26 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 43 games. Brad Bergesen is taking his spot in the bullpen.

Diamondbacks recalled RHP Bryan Shaw from Triple-A Reno. Shaw spent a few weeks with the Diamondbacks in June, allowing five hits and three runs in four-plus innings of relief. He'll return to the middle of the Arizona 'pen.
