Shaw is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since Boston claimed Shaw off waivers from Milwaukee and added him to the active roster last week, the team has encountered a heavy stretch of games versus left-handed starting pitchers. As a result, the lefty-hitting Shaw has been limited to just one start at first base, and he'll sit once again in favor of the righty-hitting Bobby Dalbec with southpaw Kolby Allard on the bump for Texas. Manager Alex Cora suggested Monday that outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber could see his first action at first base later in the week and eventually settle in as the primary option at the position, so Shaw's opportunities could dry up quickly even when the Red Sox begin to face more right-handed pitchers.
