BRYAN SHAW NEWS

Cut loose by Halos The Angels released Shaw on Wednesday.

Impact A veteran of 796 career MLB appearances with five teams over 14 seasons, Shaw didn't get the chance to debut with the Angels after signing with the organization on a minor-league deal in April. The 36-year-old right-hander pitched exclusively at Triple-A Salt Lake, registering a 4.14 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 41.1 innings. Given the timing of his release, Shaw is unlikely to catch on with another organization before the end of the 2024 season, but he should be able to land a minor-league deal on the open market over the winter if he wants to keep his career going.

Poised to make Opening Day roster Shaw is expected to be included on the White Sox's Opening Day roster, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Shaw is attending spring training as a non-roster invitee, so the White Sox will still have to clear a spot for him on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster before he's officially a part of the Opening Day bullpen. The 36-year-old right-hander is heading into his second season in Chicago after posting a 4.14 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB in 45.2 innings over his 36 appearances. As the most battle-tested reliever in a White Sox bullpen lacking in experienced arms, Shaw could factor into the mix for saves, though younger pitchers such as Michael Kopech and Jordan Leasure boast more powerful arsenals and fit the closer archetype better.

Chicago White Sox agree to minor league contract with reliever Bryan Shaw

The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a minor league contract with reliever Bryan Shaw that includes an invitation to big league camp for spring training

Collects fourth save Shaw picked up the save in Thursday's 3-1 victory over the Diamondbacks, striking out one over a perfect inning.

Impact Shaw entered the contest with a two-run lead in the ninth and needed only 11 pitches to retire the side and secure his fourth save of the season. The right-handed reliever has now converted his last two save opportunities and has struck out at least one batter in 13 of his last 15 appearances. He now carries a 1.08 ERA in September to go along with a 20:6 K:BB.

Escapes with save Saturday Shaw picked up the save in Saturday's 1-0 victory over the Red Sox. He allowed two hits and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Despite surrendering two singles in the ninth inning, Shaw was able to successfully shut the door on Boston, earning his third save of the season. After 10 consecutive scoreless appearances to start September, the veteran reliever had given up an earned run in each of his previous two outings prior to Saturday. He now owns a 4.65 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 33 appearances (40.2 innings) on the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns second save Shaw walked one and struck out two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Shaw has kept runs off the board in seven of his last eight outings, and five of those efforts have seen him get more than three outs. The right-hander got the ninth inning after Gregory Santos earned a hold after relieving Aaron Bummer in the eighth inning. Shaw has a 5.46 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 27:11 K:BB through 31.1 innings this season while adding two saves and two holds. He's not the top late-inning option, but Shaw is getting some looks late in the White Sox's disappointing season.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects first save of season Shaw earned a save against the Yankees on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out four batters over two scoreless innings.

Impact Shaw entered in the top of the eighth inning with Chicago up 2-1, and he dominated by striking out the side on 13 pitches. The White Sox scored three times in the bottom of the frame, so manager Pedro Grifol elected to allow the right-hander the opportunity to close things out. Shaw did so without much trouble, allowing a leadoff double to Aaron Judge in the ninth but retiring the next three batters. It was the veteran reliever's first save of the campaign and 16th of his career, but he doesn't figure to get many more chances moving forward despite an unsettled closer situation since Liam Hendriks was lost for the season with an elbow injury and Kendall Graveman and Reynaldo Lopez were both traded at the deadline.

Joining big-league bullpen Shaw's contract was selected from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Impact The 35-year-old reliever had a 4.94 ERA in 23.2 innings at Triple-A and a 9.39 ERA in 7.2 innings in the big leagues earlier this year. Shaw will work in low-leverage situations.

Joining Triple-A Charlotte Shaw was sent outright to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, per the MLB's transactions log.

Impact Shaw was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Saturday, and after failing to draw any interest from around the league, he'll end up in Charlotte. He owns a 4.03 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 24 strikeouts in 21 appearances this season at Triple-A (22.1 innings).

Jettisoned from 40-man roster Shaw was designated for assignment Saturday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Shaw loses his spot with Joe Kelly ready to return from the injured list. The 35-year-old reliever allowed eight runs over 7.2 relief innings during his brief time with the White Sox.

Back in majors with ChiSox The White Sox selected Shaw's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Impact Shaw is a veteran of 753 career regular-season appearances, but he has yet to pitch at the big-league level in 2023 after he was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with the White Sox this offseason coming off a poor season with the Guardians. The 35-year-old right-hander has pitched respectably at Charlotte this season, logging a 4.03 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB in 22.1 innings. Look for the White Sox to limit his usage to lower-leverage spots initially, but he could eventually work his way into a setup role if he excels early on.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back with CHW on minors deal Shaw signed a minor-league contract Friday with the White Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Shaw was released by the White Sox in late March after failing to claim a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he'll get another shot with the organization after going unsigned for a full month. The veteran reliever will first head to the club's spring training complex in Arizona before eventually joining up with Triple-A Charlotte.

Passes through waivers The Guardians outrighted Shaw to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Shaw is on the books for $3 million in 2022 and is likely eager to receive the remaining prorated portion of his contract, so his decision to accept the outright assignment rather than electing free agency doesn't come as a surprise. Before he was removed from the Guardians' 40-man roster, Shaw turned in a 5.40 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB in 58.1 innings. His contract includes a $4 million club option for 2023, which the Guardians will almost certainly decline this winter.

Designated for assignment Shaw was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Saturday.

Impact Shaw made 60 appearances (two starts) for Cleveland in 2022 and converted his lone save chance while picking up seven holds. However, he served mainly as a middle reliever and posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 58.1 innings. It's not yet clear whether he'll remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
