EDGE Analysis

He will sit in favor of Brock Holt following an 0-for-4 showing in the series opener against Tampa Bay -- just Shaw's second absence in the team's last 12 games. Shaw has failed to capitalize on his regular playing time this month, posting an underwhelming .232/.274/.411 slash line. Manager John Farrell said earlier this week that third base is "a spot that can further be grabbed."
