Shaw went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's split-squad game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw has hit the ball well as the spring has wound down, going 6-for-20 (.300) with Saturday's homer and four RBI over his previous seven exhibition contests. He is locked in as the club's starting third baseman -- teammate Mike Moustakas, a third baseman by trade, will play second instead -- and figures to spend most of his time in the cleanup spot like he did in 2018.

Shaw went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI on Friday against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw delivered his second and third homers of the spring, a two-run blast in the first inning and a solo shot in the fourth to give Milwaukee a 3-0 lead. He's unsurprisingly hit right-handed pitching well so far in camp, although he'll continue to focus on improving against lefties.

Shaw went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's spring win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw drew the start at third base as the Brewers continue to test Mike Moustakas at second base and took southpaw Jon Lester deep in the first inning for his first spring home run. Shaw struggled against left-handers in 2018 with a .209/.303/.296 slash line and only two home runs in 133 plate appearances.

Shaw said he expects to play third base, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was originally thought that Shaw would transition to second base -- as he did last season -- following Milwaukee's decision to bring back Mike Moustakas, but it sounds like the 30-year-old could return to the hot corner in 2019. Manager Craig Counsell confirmed Moustakas is expected to play some second base during spring training, though he offered no hints as to how positions may shake out during the season. Shaw hit .241/.345/.480 with 32 homers and 86 RBI last season, so he figures to be in the lineup more often than not regardless of position.

Shaw figures to draw starts at second base following Milwaukee's signing of Mike Moustakas, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shaw appeared in line to begin the season as the club's everyday third baseman, but after the Brewers came to terms with Moustakas, that plan figures to change. Shaw manned the keystone in 39 games during the second half of the 2018 campaign, allowing for Moustakas to start at the hot corner. Fantasy owners should expect more of the same in 2019. Keeping in mind that manager Craig Counsell likes to have options at second base, Shaw could share playing time with Cory Spangenberg, Hernan Perez and Tyler Saladino, although, given Shaw's impressive power and his left-handed bat, he should see the lion's share of at-bats. While the former ninth-round pick out of Kent State saw his batting average plummet to .241 through 152 games a year ago, he belted 32 homers and drove in 86 runs despite learning a new position.

Shaw agreed to an unspecified one-year deal with the Brewers, avoiding arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers came to terms with all of their arbitration-eligible players on deadline day. Shaw enters 2019 on track to be the Brewers' everyday third baseman, but he could also spend time at second base if the Brewers bring back Mike Moustakas.

Shaw is out of the lineup for Game 5 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Shaw will remain in a reserve role with another southpaw (Clayton Kershaw) on the mound for Los Angeles. Manager Craig Counsell elected to move forward with the same lineup he used in Game 1 against Kershaw, placing Hernan Perez fifth in the order at the second-base position.
