Chris Shaw News
San Francisco Giants outfielder Chris Shaw has been promoted to Triple-A. This is the second trip to Triple-A for Shaw, who last year collected 24 home runs, 55 runs and 65 RBI over 101 games for Sacramento. Shaw saw some time in the majors last year but hit an uninspiring .185/.274/.278 over 22 games before being sent down. If Shaw continues to produce, he could be called up sometime later this summer for the struggling Giants, but at this point in time he is an NL-only league target for fantasy owners if he gets the call to the bigs eventually.
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said outfield prospect Chris Shaw will play left field every day to close out the season. It makes sense with Andrew McCutchen now in New York and Steven Duggar (shoulder) likely out for the year. Shaw was batting .259 with 24 home runs and 65 RBI in 101 games with Triple-A Fresno this year. He was hitless in his first two major league at-bats on Friday but did drive in a run. He's an immediate candidate for an addition in NL-only leagues, but his poor plate discipline may make him a risky option in mixed leagues.
The San Francisco Giants are calling up outfield prospect Chris Shaw from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, according to a source. With Andrew McCutchen traded to the Yankees on Thursday night, it makes sense for the Giants to give Shaw some run in the final month of the season after he hit .259 with 24 home runs and 65 RBI in 101 games on the farm. The team's No. 4 prospect also struck out 144 times and walked just 21 times, though, so he could struggle a bit in his first taste of the big leagues. Shaw is a candidate to own in dynasty/keeper formats, but he might only be an NL-only option the rest of the way in 2018.
