The Cubs are getting a boost as Matt Shaw is set to return to the lineup against the Rockies. With a back injury keeping him sidelined since May 22, Shaw's comeback is a significant development for the team. The 24-year-old third baseman, once a top prospect, has been struggling lately, but his return could be a game-changer for the Cubs. Shaw's versatility is notable; he's played every position except pitcher, catcher, and shortstop this season, showcasing his adaptability. However, his recent performance has been underwhelming, with a .045 batting average in his last 22 at-bats. Despite this, the Cubs are giving him another chance, recognizing his potential as a utility player. With the team's current struggles, Shaw's return could provide the much-needed spark and depth they've been seeking. The question remains: can Shaw's bat heat up quickly enough to justify his increased playing time? Only time will tell if this move will be a turning point for the Cubs.
