TRAVIS SHAW NEWS

Elects free agency Shaw declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Worcester and elected free agency Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Shaw secured a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster but was designated for assignment Friday after going 0-for-19 with seven strikeouts to begin the campaign. The veteran infielder will hope to latch on elsewhere, but he'll likely need to settle for a minor-league deal given his .616 OPS and 29.8 percent strikeout rate over the past three seasons.

Makes season debut Shaw started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Tigers.

Impact Shaw slotted in for Bobby Dalbec with right-hander Matt Manning on the bump for Detroit. The lefty-hitting Shaw is not in a strict platoon with Dalbec, who started twice against righties in the season-opening series against the Yankees, but when Shaw does get into the lineup, it will be against a righty.

Belts ninth homer Shaw went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Impact Getting the start at DH and batting eighth, he blasted a three-run shot off Dylan Cease as part of a seven-run third inning, then played hero in the top of the 10th by bringing home Alex Verdugo with a single. Shaw has been mainly a bench player for Boston despite all the team's recent COVID-19 absences, but he has started three of the last six games and is slashing .267/.333/.667 through 34 plate appearances in his return to the Red Sox with three of his nine homers on the year.

Losing work to Dalbec Shaw is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Shaw's absence from the lineup comes as little surprise while the Rays bring a southpaw (Ryan Yarbrough) to the hill for the series opener. Though Shaw appeared to have emerged as the Red Sox's preferred option versus right-handed pitching, Bobby Dalbec's recent surge has resulted in Shaw sitting more regularly versus righties, too. Shaw's start in Sunday's 11-5 loss to Cleveland was his first since Aug. 28.

Sitting against lefty Shaw is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Shaw finds himself on the bench for the third straight game with lefty Ryan Yarbrough pitching for Tampa Bay, though the slugger's previous two absences came against right-handed starters. Bobby Dalbec has been on a tear with a 1.658 OPS over his past seven games and appears to have taken hold of the starting job at first base, at least for now.

Sitting second straight game Shaw is not in the lineup Monday against the Rays, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Shaw finds himself on the bench for the second straight day despite a right-handed pitcher (Luis Patino) starting for Tampa Bay. Bobby Dalbec, who is 7-for-16 with three homers, two doubles, eight RBI and five runs in his past six games will start at first base Sunday.

Sitting versus right-hander Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact The lefty-hitting Shaw will get a rare day off against a right-handed pitcher (Eli Morgan), with manager Alex Cora instead rewarding the righty-hitting Bobby Dalbec with a turn in the lineup after he went 4-for-7 with two home runs, two doubles and seven RBI between his last two starts. Both Shaw and Dalbec are likely to see their opportunities take a hit soon, as Kyle Schwarber is gradually expected to receive more reps at first base after making his first start at the position Friday.

Plays 1B against righty Shaw started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Impact Shaw has started the last two games at first base, both against right-handed pitchers. Bobby Dalbec will start against lefties and occasionally face righties, but it appears Shaw will be the strong side of a platoon until such time that Kyle Schwarber is ready to play the field.
