Toronto Blue Jays corner infielder Travis Shaw will be away from the team for a few days to deal with a family matter. Ryan Borucki and Wilmer Font were brought up with the recent placement of Ken Giles to the IL. Shaw is 2-for-6 in his first two starts with the Jays, and is looking to rebound after a disappointing 2019 season. He'll continue to bat fifth in a rising lineup, making him a viable fantasy asset this season.

In 2019, the Yankees and Marlins were tied for the youngest starting lineup in the Majors at 26.5 years of age.

Toronto Blue Jays corner infielder Travis Shaw (groin) is questionable to begin the season as a fielder since hes still nursing a sore groin that he suffered earlier this week. Shaw could still be able to serve as the teams designated hitter if he cant play the hot corner, so its a situation to monitor with a week left until the start of the season. Manager Charlie Montoyo said Joe Panik would fill in at third base if necessary with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sticking to first base duties.

Toronto Blue Jays corner infielder Travis Shaw is nursing some groin soreness and is considered day-to-day. He ran the bases on Tuesday but was held out of the teams intrasquad game as a precaution. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. moving across the diamond, Shaw will man the hot corner for the Jays this year and should provide some depth to a rising lineup.

Only a year removed from back-to-back 30-HR seasons, Shaw makes an ...

Toronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo has expressed his interest in making his position players as flexible as possible this spring, now adding first baseman Travis Shaw into the mix to spend time at third base. He would take over the job at the hot corner when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. either acts as the designated hitter or needs an off-day, which was a common practice a season ago. Shaw's natural position is third base, so the move shouldn't be that uncomfortable for the 29-year-old. The ...

The Toronto Blue Jays are interested in first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion. They've also monitored Travis Shaw, while Mitch Moreland and Eric Thames could also be options. Encarnacion isn't getting any younger -- he'll turn 37 in January -- but he still managed to hit .244/.344/.531 with 34 home runs, 81 runs and 86 RBI in 109 games with the Mariners and Yankees in 2019.
