Shaw went 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Boston's 9-4 win over Tampa Bay on Monday. This was just his third multi-hit performance in the last 40 games.

EDGE Analysis

It's no secret to fantasy owners of Shaw that he's been slumping since June. Entering Monday's game, Shaw was hitting .197/.272/.351 in the previous 69 games. He told Tim Britton of the Providence Journal that he's made some recent adjustments mentally. "It felt like I was trying to do too much there," he said. "You get in a little slump and feel like you've got to get a hit every single time you come up to the plate. The last couple days, I've felt pretty relaxed and not trying to do too much." His playing time going forward, and possibly his presence on the postseason roster should Boston qualify for the playoffs, is dependent on his escape from his three-month slump.
