Matt Shaw’s Demotion Headlines Massive Roster Changes for Cubs

Cubs fans definitely knew that big changes were coming to the bullpen after Monday’s loss to the Padres, but the most surprising news of the day is that top prospect Matt Shaw is going back to Triple-A.

Shaw, along with right-handed reliever Nate Pearson have been optioned to the minor leagues, while Eli Morgan was placed on the 15-day injured list. Switch-hitting infielder and outfielder Vidal Bruján has been activated off the 10-day injured list and he’ll replace Shaw on the 26-man roster.
