Shaw went 0-for-2 and was lifted for a pinch hitter for the third time in six games in Monday's loss to Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Manager John Farrell wants to get Chris Young some at-bats against lefties, but he appears to be forcing the issue, sending him up for Shaw mid-game and costing him at least one plate appearance. It's not like Shaw can't hit lefties; he hit .329 in 82 at-bats against southpaws in 2015. Shaw has the fewest plate appearances among players who have started all six games thus far for Boston.
