Matt Shaw Activated From 10-Day Injured List

The Chicago Cubs officially activated infielder Matt Shaw from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Shaw, who had been sidelined for two months due to a sprained left hand, returns to the active roster to provide a significant boost to team depth. His return offers manager Craig Counsell additional versatility as the club navigates the absence of Dansby Swanson. In a corresponding roster move, Kevin Alcántara was optioned to the minors.
