Shaw’s Recovery and Cubs’ Patience | Chicago Cubs News

from Chicago Cubs News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Matt Shaw’s return to the Chicago Cubs lineup is still weeks away as he recovers from a wrist injury sustained in June, with manager Craig Counsell urging patience to avoid setbacks. Though Shaw’s physical progress is encouraging, his swing mechanics—especially on foul balls—remain a hurdle. Before the injury, he was thriving with increased playing time, slashing two triples, a homer, and eight RBIs in ten games. Now sidelined, his versatility has temporarily become a liability rather than an asset, but his injury also locks him into the Cubs’ roster through the trade deadline, eliminating any potential midseason move.
