Pops fourth home run
Shaw went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Blue Jays.
Analisi
Shaw made his lone hit count as he blasted his fourth home run of the season in the second inning. The second-year player got the start in right field, which is where he's been seeing most of his playing time recently while Seiya Suzuki serves as the team's DH. The recent demotion of Moises Ballesteros to Triple-A helped open more room at DH, which in turn has opened up right field for Shaw. The 24-year-old is slashing .252/.308/.437 through 50 games so far this year.

Draws walk-off walk
Shaw went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Analisi
Shaw picked up a pair of hits, including an RBI triple in the sixth inning, but it was his walk with the bases loaded in the ninth inning that made him the hero of the Cubs' walk-off win. Manning right field, Monday marked the 24-year-old's first start since being reinstated from the injured list Tuesday. Shaw's defensive versatility opens the door for him to fill in at multiple positions, though there isn't a clear path to an everyday role at the moment. Across 113 plate appearances this season, the 2023 first-round pick is slashing .255/.313/.422 with 10 extra-base hits (three homers), 14 RBI, 11 runs and three stolen bases.
