Shaw recorded the final out of Thursday's 4-2 win against Seattle via strikeout to record the save.

EDGE Analysis

This was a high-leverage situation as Shaw entered with the bases loaded and two out but dispatched Luis Torrens on four pitches to complete the save. Shaw is one of manager Terry Francona's go-to relievers, evidenced by a superb 1.93 ERA, but don't expect abundant saves with Emmanuel Clase and James Karinchak being the main guys for the ninth inning.

Shaw pitched 1.1 perfect innings with a strikeout to earn a hold in Sunday's 5-0 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw successfully protected Cleveland's 2-0 lead, and the offense added three more runs in the top of the seventh inning. The 33-year-old reliever has become an integral part of the bullpen this season. He has a tiny 0.79 ERA and 0.71 WHIP across 11.1 innings, and he's earned four holds in 11 outings.

Shaw struck out one in a perfect seventh inning to earn a hold in Friday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw was the first reliever up after Shane Bieber lasted six innings in the start. The 33-year-old Shaw needed just eight pitches to earn his third hold of the season in 10 outings. He's been solid so far with a 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 10 innings.

Shaw pitched a scoreless inning with one walk and one strikeout to earn a hold in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw was the first reliever up after starter Triston McKenzie. The 33-year-old Shaw was able to get through the sixth inning with virtually no trouble. He's done well so far with a 1.50 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB across six innings. The right-hander is likely to see most of his work in the middle innings.

Shaw pitched a perfect inning in Monday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw induced three groundouts in the eighth inning to preserve a 3-3 tie. The 33-year-old right-hander is off to a solid start with a 2.25 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and four strikeouts across four innings. Shaw is expected to see work in the middle innings more often that not, although he does have a hold to his credit in 2021.

Cleveland informed Shaw on Wednesday that he made the Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old signed as a non-roster invitee in early February but will now be added to the big-league roster after allowing three runs with a 13:5 K:BB over 9.2 innings during spring training. Shaw's could work his way into a high-leverage role if he continues to put up similar numbers in the regular season.

Shaw signed a minor-league deal with the Indians on Tuesday that includes an invitation to big-league camp.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander had a strong five-year career in Cleveland before departing after the 2017 season, but he has a 6.17 ERA in 137 games over the past three years. Shaw will need a strong showing in spring training to have a chance of cracking the Opening Day roster.

Shaw elected to become a free agent Thursday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw was outrighted to the Mariners' alternate training site in August, and he'll opt to search for a new organization ahead of the 2021 season. The right-hander has struggled over the past three seasons as he carries a 6.17 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 132.2 innings with the Rockies and Mariners.

Shaw cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Mariners' alternate training site Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw was designated for assignment Saturday following a rough start to the 2020 season, but he'll remain in the organization. If he can demonstrate better results at alternate camp than he did in the majors, he could be a candidate to return to the 28-man roster at some point, but he's unlikely to have a very prominent role with the major-league club if he returns.

Shaw was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw hasn't been very effective this season as he's allowed 12 runs on 13 hits and six walks over six innings. He was shuffled between alternate camp and the major-league roster, but he'll now lose his spot on the 40-man roster. Southpaw Ljay Newsome's contract was selected by the Mariners in a corresponding move Saturday.
