Matt Shaw Returns to Cubs Roster | MLB News

Matt Shaw’s back—healthy, hitting well, and ready to play. After a hand injury sidelined him since June 28, the 24-year-old utility ace completed a rehab assignment in Triple-A Iowa with no pain and strong results. Known for his versatility across infield and outfield spots, Shaw’s return adds depth and flexibility to the Cubs’ roster, giving manager Craig Counsell more options for pinch-hits, pinch-runs, and defensive coverage. Before the injury, he slashed four homers and drove in 20 runs in 56 games. His comeback also means outfielder Kevin Alcántara was optioned to make room. Meanwhile, Dansby Swanson is back to defense, Edward Cabrera threw bullpen sessions, and Ben Brown’s timeline remains uncertain. The Cubs are thrilled to have Shaw back in his super-utility role.
