Travis Shaw Homers In Comeback Win Friday rotoballer.com Sat 9/22/18 4:13 AM

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw provided some power while reaching a milestone Friday versus Pittsburgh. His two-run homer would give the Brewers a 4-3 lead and would be the eventual game-winner as the Milwaukee bullpen held Pittsburgh at three runs for the rest of the game. The HR was also a milestone as it was his 30th of the season, which is a standard that is held in some regard by many people. Shaw is not a league-winner, especially with a .242 batting average, but he is useful[...]

Updating a previous report, X-rays turned up negative on Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) after he was hit by a pitch and left the game early on Tuesday. Shaw is likely just dealing with a knee contusion and could return very soon. There's a chance he might not even need to miss a game. Shaw has been useful in all fantasy leagues with a .240/.342/.475 slash line, 29 long balls and 79 RBI in 550 plate appearances in 2018.

Travis Shaw Injured Tuesday rotoballer.com Tue 9/18/18 10:41 PM

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) left the game early on Tuesday with a bruised right knee after he was hit by a pitch. Shaw scored a run in his lone plate appearance before leaving the game. It's unknown how serious this injury is, but hopefully for Shaw owners he won't need to miss much time, if any. He's hit .240/.342/.475 with 29 home runs, 68 runs scored and 79 RBI on the year and has been useful in all leagues. Jonathan Schoop would likely take over at the keystone if Shaw n[...]

Travis Shaw With Power Display Friday Versus The Pirates rotoballer.com Sat 9/15/18 2:23 AM

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw helped get his team out to a quick start Friday versus Pittsburgh. He would provide the second homer of the first inning as the Brewers built a 3-0 lead during the frame. The solo blast would be his 29th of the season. The total has him within the top-10 of the National League. Despite the power, he does come with a weakness in batting average which is .240. Shaw would also add a stolen base Friday, which was only his third of the season. There is a place[...]

Travis Shaw is Sitting Out on Monday rotoballer.com Mon 9/10/18 5:56 PM

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Shaw will sit out his second straight game as the Brewers face another left-handed starter on Monday. Jonathan Schoop is at second base and will bat fifth, while Mike Moustakas is at third base and batting sixth versus lefty Jon Lester. Both Moose and Schoop should be avoided on Monday.

Travis Shaw Sitting Out on Tuesday rotoballer.com Tue 8/7/18 2:51 PM

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Shaw struggles to hit left-handed pitching, so it's not surprising to see him sitting this one out. Mike Moustakas will bat sixth and play third base against lefty Clayton Richard. However, Moustakas does not hit lefties well either, so he should be avoided in DFS contests.

Jonathan Schoop to Brewers - Fantasy Impact rotoballer.com Sat 8/4/18 4:45 AM

The Milwaukee Brewers appear to be trying to build an infield of sluggers who had a good 2017. They recently acquired Mike Moustakas from the Royals, who is struggling to live up to his 2018 form, and now they have added former Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop. They both join Travis Shaw who also appears to be struggling to live up to the numbers he put forward last year. However, the Brewers will be hoping that during this seasons race for the NL Central that at least one of their power[...]

MLB Trade Deadline: Analysis and Fantasy Implications rotoballer.com Thu 8/2/18 3:10 AM

With players being dealt left and right, multiple teams around the league have changed the identity of their franchise for the present and future.

Champ or Chump: Tommy Pham and Brian Dozier rotoballer.com Thu 8/2/18 3:00 AM

The Trade Deadline has passed, but the dust is yet to settle for fantasy purposes. The Brewers acquired Jonathan Schoop to apparently share two positions with Travis Shaw and Mike Moustakas. You probably don't want to count on anybody in the timeshare until it's clear how often everyone will play. Jonathan Villar figures to get playing time in Baltimore, making him a potential SB play in fantasy. Brandon Kintzler, Keone Kela, Brad Ziegler, and Jake Diekman join the ranks of speculative saves [...]
