The Chicago Cubs have optioned top prospect Matt Shaw to Triple-A Iowa after a disappointing start to the rookie third baseman\'s career.
Shaw, the No. 13 pick in the 2023 amateur draft, is just 10-for-58 with one homer and three RBIs. He has 18 strikeouts in 68 plate appearances.
\"We want to get a productive player back,\" manager Craig Counsell said before the Cubs\' 2-1 extra-inning win against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
