The Cut List (Week 14): Time to Let Go? rotoballer.com Sun 7/1/18 4:00 AM
Welcome to Week 14 of the Cut List. In this edition, I take a look at the recent performances of Joey Gallo, Tommy Pham, Travis Shaw, and Kyle Hendricks. Has Gallo underperformed expectations? Why is Pham hitting .246? Is Shaw not the bonafide slugger we thought he was? Is Hendricks viable in standard leagues?
I was absent last week and Kent Shen filled in admirably for me, but now I'm back to dissect some player profiles. Let's dive in!
Want some waiver wire advice to make up for those n[...]
Travis Shaw Returns to Lineup on Thursday rotoballer.com Thu 6/28/18 12:22 PM
Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) is back in the lineup Thursday and batting cleanup. Shaw has not played since Sunday and is hopefully back to full strength. He's had a rough month so far, batting only .188 over the past 30 days with just one home run. Maybe the short break refreshed his legs as well as his wrist and he gets back on track. Hernan Perez had been starting in Shaw's place and is out of the lineup today.

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. This is the second game Shaw has missed in a row with a sore wrist. Hernan Perez is starting again at third base. Shaw has struggled over the last month but has 14 homers and a .819 OPS overall in 2018.

Travis Shaw is Out on Tuesday rotoballer.com Tue 6/26/18 2:24 PM

Shaw exited early during Sunday's game and is expected to miss a couple of games. Hernan Perez will serve as the starting third baseman for the Brewers on Tuesday against Jake Junis. Shaw should remain owned in all leagues, while Perez could be an interesting short-term add in deeper leagues.
Travis Shaw Likely To Avoid DL Stint rotoballer.com Mon 6/25/18 1:28 PM
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) will most likely avoid a disabled list stint, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell. This is good news for Shaw owners, as while he's been struggling as of late, he's always reliable for power in the lineup. He will most certainly get a couple of days off, and provided he suffers no setbacks, he will return sometime this week. He should be owned in all formats.
Travis Shaw and Eric Thames Have Themselves A Day at Miller Park rotoballer.com Thu 6/21/18 10:57 PM
Milwaukee Brewers lefty sluggers Travis Shaw and Eric Thames combined to go 4-for-9 and racked up three runs and 5 RBI in their squad's 11-3 beating of St. Louis. The two top of the order bats teed off of Carlos Martinez on Thursday and ended his day after a mere four innings pitched. The Brewers have been taking advantage of their home park's favorable dimensions for left-handed hitters and crushing right-handed pitchers all season. In regards to OPS, Milwaukee has consistently been top 10 a[...]

Travis Shaw Out Tuesday With Wrist Issue rotoballer.com Tue 6/19/18 12:05 PM
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) will once again sit out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Shaw acquired the wrist issue and Monday, and was kept out of the lineup as a corresponding move and will sit again with Hernan Perez taking his spot at third base. Owners of Shaw need to keep an eye out as he could possibly land on the disabled list if he does not continue to get better, and the Brewers have done this numerous times so far this season.
Travis Shaw Out on Monday rotoballer.com Mon 6/18/18 2:18 PM
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Shaw tweaked his wrist on Sunday and has been dealing with some soreness lately. Hernan Perez will fill in at third base on Monday, and could be an interesting DFS option. He's been swinging the bat well lately, and could see more playing time if Shaw continues to miss time.
Travis Shaw Resting On Monday Against Cubs rotoballer.com Mon 6/11/18 1:18 PM
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (rest) will not play in Monday's matchup against Jose Quintana and the Chicago Cubs. This could just have to do with the fact that Shaw is a lefty and with him needing a rest day, it would ultimately make the most sense to rest him against a left-handed pitcher. Shaw should be inserted back into the lineup on Tuesday.
