Shaw did not start Friday night's game against Detroit, despite the Tigers throwing a right-hander, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brock Holt got the start at third base instead of Shaw, who is hitting just .206 since June 2 as opposing pitchers have developed a plan against him. Manager John Farrell said right-handers are going up in the zone with two strikes on Shaw to get him to chase. "The book is out," the manager said. "Players are always in that counter-adjustment phase, and Travis is in that right now." Shaw will get his starts going forward, but he's no longer considered the default starting third baseman against right-handers.
