Shaw will likely lose out on at-bats against lefties with Aaron Hill brought in from Milwaukee, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski would not so far as to label the team's third-base situation a platoon with Hill coming aboard, but he did readily acknowledge Shaw's struggled against lefties (.211 average, .620 OPS). Apparently, the Red Sox had been searching for a right-handed third base option "for a while" and were in talks for Hill long before Shaw suffered a bruised left foot in Wednesday's game. X-rays on Shaw's foot were returned negative and he is considered day-to-day.
