Travis Shaw News
Boston Red Sox designated infielder Travis Shaw for assignment on Friday and are calling up Franchy Cordero to take his place on the roster, according to multiple sources. The team is also expected to activate pitchers Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford from the restricted list. Shaw made the roster on a minor league deal, but has struggled since then. He is 0-for-19 with seven strikeouts this season, so it's not shocking to see the team deciding to make a change. Cordero willplay outfield and possibly some first base when Bobby Dalbec needs a break.
Boston Red Sox infielder Travis Shaw delivered the biggest hit of the game Saturday, driving a three-run home run over the fence to knock Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease out of the game. Shaw went 2-for-5, adding a single and an additional RBI to his line. Shaw has taken some excellent at-bats since being added to the roster, and he stands to garner semi-regular playing time against right-handed pitching. He and his nine homers on the year could be useful in deep daily leagues despite his .671 OPS.
Boston Red Sox infielder Travis Shaw homered for the second time in this stint with the club on Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and the big fly against the Minnesota Twins. He struck out in his other two times at the plate. Shaw is making good on his opportunities thus far, but his playing time should diminish later in the week once Kyle Schwarber starts manning first base. However effective he may be, a bench bat has no place on fantasy rosters.
