Shaw (leg) is out of the lineup Thursday against the White Sox, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shaw was an early exit from Wednesday's contest due to a shin contusion, and that's presumably the ailment that will hold him out of action for Thursday's matinee matchup against Chicago. The Red Sox have several options to fill in for Shaw at the hot corner if his absence extends a few games, but manager John Farrell will award Marco Hernandez the starting nod Thursday afternoon.
