The Chicago Cubs called up third baseman Matt Shaw from Triple-A Iowa on Monday for the start of a three-game series in Miami, sources told the Chicago Tribune. Manager Craig Counsell hinted at the move Sunday after the Cubs swept the White Sox in the opening round of the City Series at Wrigley Field, and it will be made official Monday.

Matt Shaw is back with the Chicago Cubs after a minor league stint to refine his approach. Following early struggles, the top prospect aims to bolster the Cubs' lineup, particularly at third base, where the team has faced challenges.

When the Cubs sent Matt Shaw down to Triple A in the middle of April, the hope was that it wouldn’t be a long stint with Iowa. The Cubs knew it would be hard to address their hole at third base in any other way than internally.
