Shaw was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw was designated for assignment by the Orioles in late January but went unclaimed on waivers. The 26-year-old appeared in 20 Cactus League games but hit just .071 with three walks and two runs. Shaw will likely begin the season with Triple-A Norfolk.

Shaw cleared waivers Monday and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw spent last season in the Giants' player pool but never made the active roster. He was claimed off waivers by the Orioles in November but went unclaimed this time around, hardly a surprise given that he's a 27-year-old left fielder with a career .153/.244/.222 line in 82 plate appearances at the highest level.

Shaw was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was claimed off waivers by Baltimore in late November, but he was cleared from the 40-man roster Tuesday to clear space for the signing of Freddy Galvis. Shaw figures to be outrighted to Triple-A if he goes unclaimed on waivers this time around.

Shaw was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw was cast off the Giants' 40-man roster Friday, but he'll land a 40-man roster spot with Baltimore heading into the 2021 season. The 26-year-old has struggled in limited major-league opportunities and could serve as organizational depth with his new club.

Shaw was designated for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw has essentially mastered Triple-A at this point, but the Giants seem to think he is a Quadruple-A hitter, as he has never been given much of a chance at the big-league level. He will offer organizational depth going forward if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Shaw joined the Giants' 60-man player pool, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
This apparently comes directly from Shaw's personal Instagram account. He was surprisingly left off the original 60-man roster, so we at least know now that he is healthy and still has a chance to carve out a role with the Giants going forward.

Shaw was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old joined the Giants for the closing stretch last season but went 1-for-18 over 16 games. Shaw had a .298/.355/.592 slash line at Sacramento last year and will look to replicate those numbers in 2020.

Shaw went 0-for-3 as a designated hitter in Tuesday's 7-6 victory over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The Boston native was granted his first start of the season, but he was lifted after just three plate appearances once a lefty was brought out of the bullpen. The Red Sox have the right-handed Jhoulys Chacin set to take the bump Wednesday, so Shaw could be in the starting nine again with the benefit of the DH spot. The 25-year-old has been used sparsely (1-for-10) since being called up Sept. 1 despite posting a robust .947 OPS over 75 games with Triple-A Sacramento this year.

Shaw was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw has split the season between Sacramento and Double-A Richmond, posting a .294/.360/.559 slash line with 28 home runs and 94 RBI. The 25-year-old made his major-league debut last season and had a .552 OPS in 62 plate appearances.

Shaw has hit for a combined 18 homers and 62 RBI across two levels in the minors this season.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw slashed .288/.368/.500 in 45 games with Double-A Richmond, and hasn't missed a beat since his promotion to Triple-A Sacramento (.291/.348/.574 in 35 games). The 25-year-old slugger started in Double-A after struggling at Triple-A last season, but he has apparently taken a big step forward in the plate discipline department. The Giants are currently set at first base and left field, so it may take some trades at the deadline to open up a spot for Shaw on the major-league roster.
