Matt Shaw

Shaw didn't get the start, but did come off the bench to connect on his first MLB homer. The 23-year-old has above-average power in his right-handed bat, and as long as the other tools play, he should be able to give fantasy managers solid pop in his rookie campaign.

Shaw will get his first day off of the season. The 23-year-old will take a break with Gage Workman manning the hot corner and hitting eighth.

Thompson figures to elect free agency in search of a new opportunity after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 30-year-old righty was designated for assignment last week to free up a spot on Chicago's 40-man roster for top prospect Matt Shaw. He'll be the answer to a trivia question someday in the Windy City if Shaw goes on to become a franchise cornerstone.

It's Shaw's first MLB hit, and it came on an infield single in the fifth inning. The 23-year-old rookie nearly picked up another hit in the ninth, but was robbed on a nice piece of defense from Miguel Rojas. It was only two games, but Shaw looked overmatched at times against the Dodger pitching staff. He's one of the best prospects in baseball, but like most young players, it won't be a surprise if there's a learning curve to begin his career.
