Travis Shaw DFA'd, Franchy Cordero Joining Red Sox
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.
Boston Red Sox infielder Travis Shaw delivered the biggest hit of the day Monday, launching a walk-off grand slam over the right-center field fence to give the Red Sox an 8-4 win in 11 innings over the Texas Rangers. It was Shaw's only hit in two at-bats after coming on partway through the contest. Shaw seems to be in a time-share at first base with Bobby Dalbec, but his playing time figures to shrink further when Kyle Schwarber is comfortable enough to play the position. Shaw is well off the fantasy radar.
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw is returning to the Boston Red Sox after getting claimed off waivers, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, citing a league source. Shaw, who started his career with Boston in 2015, has slashed .191/.279/.337 in 178 at-bats this season. That makes the 31-year-old infielder a non-factor, even in deep leagues, but given his past success as a power hitter he could be a name to monitor in case he plays his way into regular at-bats in the American League.
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (shoulder) hit on the field for the first time on Tuesday and is hoping to begin a minor league rehab assignment soon. Shaw suffered a separated left shoulder last month, but it's looking like he might be able to return to the Brew Crew next month. Aside from a little power, the 31-year-old left-handed slugger has been of little use to fantasy managers, even in deeper leagues. He's hit just .191/.279/.337 with six long balls and 28 RBI in his 178 at-bats. Shaw won't be guaranteed regular playing time at the hot corner when he returns. Luis Urias has been holding down third base regularly with Shaw sidelined, and he's been much more productive with the bat.
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (shoulder) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a dislocated left shoulder. Shaw took grounders for the first time on Monday and will start swinging a bat in one week. He's currently on the 60-day injured list, but he's hoping to return on Aug. 10 against the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old did have six home runs and 28 RBI in 56 games (202 plate appearances) before his injury, but he was slashing just .191/.279/.337 with a .616 OPS with the Brew Crew. Luis Urias has been struggling at the hot corner of late as well, leading to speculation that Milwaukee could be a potential trade partner with the Colorado Rockies for star shortstop Trevor Story. There's no reason to stash Shaw outside of deep NL-only affairs.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) was officially transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. No surprise here, primarily since the veteran could be going under the knife in the near future after dislocating his left shoulder on Wednesday against the Reds. Shaw is eligible to come off the IL in August, and if he makes progress in rehab by then, he is expected to return. However, if he doesn't, then season-ending surgery will be the only option.
Travis Shaw To Rehab Until August Before Deciding On Surgery
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) will try to rehab until August before deciding on surgery. The 31-year-old suffered a nasty dislocation of his left elbow on Wednesday against the Reds but will try to work his way back before deciding whether or not he needs to go under the knife. If rehab doesn't improve his condition, the veteran may miss time extending into 2022 spring training, if not longer.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) will look to avoid surgery. The 31-year-old dislocated his left shoulder on Wednesday night during a meeting with the Reds but will attempt rehab before opting to go under the knife. He currently sits on the 10-day injured list, and if all goes well, he could be back before the end of the regular season. However, with Shaw's subpar play this year, he isn't worth a spot on fantasy rosters in most formats.
