Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Jon Berti will receive the nod at third base while Shaw sits after seven straight starts. During that stretch, the rookie went 6-for-25 with four RBI, three runs and three steals. He's swiped 10 bags in 11 attempts on the season, but his fantasy contributions have been fairly muted beyond that, as he's hitting just .222 with two home runs, 25 runs and 13 RBI over 200 plate appearances.

Shaw went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
It's been an up-and-down rookie campaign for Shaw, but he's shown flashes such as he did Friday, setting a new season and career best with the three RBI. It was also the second time this year that the 23-year-old tallied two doubles in a contest. Shaw is still slashing just .222/.297/.318 overall, though he's seeing pretty regular playing time as Chicago's primary option at third base, and he has the talent to get on a hot streak at any point.

Shaw will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
After resting in Saturday's 10-7 win, Shaw will return to the lineup for the series finale. The rookie has settled in as Chicago's primary third baseman and has shown some promise, though he's slumping a bit this month with a .172/.200/.276 slash line in 17 June games.

Shaw isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw will get a day to reset after going 1-for-23 over his last seven games. Vidal Brujan will fill the void at third base and bat ninth while Shaw rests.

Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Jon Berti will fill in at third base while Shaw heads to the bench for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 19. The rookie's second go-around in the majors has been far more successful than his first, and despite going 0-for-13 over his last four starts, Shaw is still batting .264 with one home run and seven stolen bases since rejoining the big club.

Shaw went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie third baseman launched a slider from Keider Montero over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, one of five long balls by the Cubs on the afternoon. It's the second homer of the season for Shaw and his first since he returned to the majors May 19. In 17 games since being called back up, he's batting .339 (21-for-62) with seven doubles, seven steals, five RBI and 11 runs.

Shaw went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Facing Detroit ace Tarik Skubal, Shaw managed to record his second straight multi-hit effort, and he mustered Chicago's only run in a game where scoring was at a premium. After getting demoted following a rocky start to his rookie campaign, Shaw has been a lot better since getting recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 19. Over his past 16 games, the 23-year-old has slashed .345/.387/.466 with seven doubles, four RBI and 10 runs scored.

Shaw went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Nationals. He also stole two bases.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw was electric from the No. 8 spot in the order as he snapped a 1-for-13 slump that stretched across his last four games. This was the rookie's second career game with three hits. It was also his second career game with multiple stolen bases, and he now has seven steals for the season in seven attempts. Shaw remains a work in progress at the plate, but his ability on the bases is giving his fantasy value a boost, and he has the potential to do even more with the bat as he gets more comfortable against MLB pitching.

Shaw went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw's second hit of the day ended the game in the bottom of the 11th inning, bringing across Jon Berti with the winning run. The rookie infielder has been much better in his second stint in the majors, slashing .355/.412/.516 with four steals in eight games since getting recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 19. Shaw should remain Chicago's primary third baseman as long as he's productive at the plate.

Shaw went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
In three games since getting recalled to the majors Monday, Shaw has gone 5-for-11 with three doubles, two RBI, two runs scored and two steals. The 23-year-old rookie struggled in the big leagues to begin the year before being demoted to Triple-A Iowa in mid-April, but the top prospect has the talent to put everything together at the MLB level. Shaw should continue to be the Cubs' primary third baseman as long as he's contributing offensively.
