Matt Shaw Expected to Start in Right Field vs. Lefties

Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Shaw is expected to start in right field against left-handed pitchers, according to Bruce Levine of Marquee Sports Network. Manager Craig Counsell indicated Shaw will see significant time in the outfield, allowing Seiya Suzuki to move to the designated hitter spot in those matchups. While Shaw has played outfield in college and summer ball, this would mark his professional debut at the position. The 24-year-old is anticipated to fill a super utility role for the Cubs during the upcoming season.
