Reliever Bryan Shaw, a disappointment thus far in a Rockies uniform, is getting a fresh start. For the sake of team’s postseason aspirations, Shaw better make the most of his chance.
“I’m healthy and I’ve got my mechanics kind of tightened back up,” the veteran right-hander said before Wednesday’s game against Arizona as he returned from the disabled list, where he was healing a strained right calf muscle. “I think the mechanical difficulties were the product of the leg, and then my arm being tired. I think, maybe, my results were the byproduct of those things.”
Shaw predicted that, eventually, he’ll work his way back to a key role in the bullpen.
