EDGE Analysis
Shaw was not in the starting lineup Sunday against the left-handed Pat Dean, as Josh Rutledge got the start. It was the third straight game against a lefty starter that Rutledge has started at third base. Shaw's been struggling against all pitchers, but his results against left-handers is more pronounced (6-for-42, .143). Manager John Farrell isn't calling it a strict platoon, but he acknowledges left-handers are a challenge for Shaw right now.
