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.

The Cubs recalled Shaw from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw earned another shot with the big club after putting up a .970 OPS, six home runs, five steals and an 11:17 K:BB over 24 contests. He slashed only .172/.294/.241 across 68 plate appearances in his first stint in the majors, but the Cubs seem more confident that Shaw will fare better against big-league pitching this time around. Shaw will take over as the Cubs' primary third baseman, with Jon Berti shifting to a utility role.

The Cubs are expected to recall Shaw from Triple-A Iowa prior to Monday's game in Miami, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw was demoted in mid-April after slashing only .172/.294/.241 across 68 plate appearances, but he got back on track at Iowa with a .970 OPS, six home runs, five steals and an 11:17 K:BB over 24 contests. He will get another shot at being the Cubs' everyday third baseman, while Jon Berti transitions back into a utility role.

The Cubs are expected to eventually recall Shaw from Triple-A Iowa to take back over as their third baseman, Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic report.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw was sent down in mid-April after slashing only .172/.294/.241 across 68 plate appearances. The 23-year-old has a .324/.457/.487 slash line with one home run since being demoted to Iowa, including an 11-for-20 surge over the last five games. While a promotion for Shaw does not appear imminent, manager Craig Counsell confirmed that the team eventually plans to hand the third-base job back to Shaw.
